Vincanni 1 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 I already was, now I'll drag as many people I know along with me. Of course jackass will probably chalk up the lower rating is any to Crysby not being in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 I propose that all Red Wings fans boycott the All-Star game if Lidstrom and Datsyuk are indeed suspended for not playing. It is a shame that players can be suspended for not playing due to injuries. This just goes to show how much of a ****** bag Bettman really is. I want a healthy Datsyuk and Lidstrom for the second half of the season, not an All-Star appearance. sorry, but posting this thread is probably bringing 0.0000001% more attention to the ASG than I was going to give it anyway.

Xitium 272 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah we should boycott something because our boys broke the rules!!! Hey is Lids and Pav cared enough to not be suspended they would go there, sign autographs, smile for the pictures and cheer their their team. Pav is hurt ok, but lids is fine, they brought it on themselves. I hate sid but his butt is heading off to the all star weekend, why can't our guys. Ok, how about boycotting it because the voting was an absolute joke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 Hey, does getting suspended kill Datsyuk's chances to win the Lady Byng? Thought just occurred to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egroen 384 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 Hey, does getting suspended kill Datsyuk's chances to win the Lady Byng? Thought just occurred to me. If it is indeed a "suspension", absolutely. But I am hearing now this is not a "suspension" as it is with pay. As others have said, if it's not an official suspension, they should just take to the ice anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 The game had no meaning before this to me, but I would have at least turned it on to see the score. I am all for boycotting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stlwing14 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks for the facebook link. I tried to get some friends to join, but I live in St. Louis and they love the suspensions of our players. I hate Bettman I'm from the StL as well and of course this is the best thing that has happened for the Blues in the last couple of years. It only demonstrates just how sad that organization has become. It was once a classy, hard working institution, then the Keenan years began and it's only gotten worse every year. It's really hard to tolerate the NHL right now. I rather watch minor leagues and college teams play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kira 451 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 I had planned on not watching it anyway. I have a 900-page book I'm reading, so there is my Saturday and Sunday. I'd much rather put my brain to use for something constructive than to watch Buttman and his legion of ass-kissers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeytownRN 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 I'm not watching, BUT....the pre-game sucked. Don't know who the chick was but she was horrible, and it basically consisted of the "Ole Ole Ole" song. Ovechkin was hilarious in the breakaway challenge. Didn't hear any talk of Nik and Pavel but was a little distracted so I could have missed it. Ok, back to not watching.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 I couldn't wait for the young stars game to end. That pond hockey s*** gits old after about 5 minutes. The breakaway challenge is a joke.
