... Hearing these idiot announcers makes me glad I moved away from California

really?! highest taxes, declining education for example, can justify such a move, but sport announcers...
 
where are going to move considering Endzo is on national tv?

my kids and I are going to the game. last time we were in presence wing won 5-0.

 

GO WINGS GO!!

 

wings in 6, btw.

Wings in 5!!

will be there for game 2. expect Honda Center be on fire full with red and white

 

GO WINGS!!

 

ps. wings (of course) in 6.

 

 

It would seem the stars have aligned for our Wings this day.  MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

 

Go Wings! 

I think stars have nothing to with. Preds just happy by themselves over discount they got on early tee-time booking.

 

GP WINGS!! Push for 7th and duck hunting!

C'mon boys, let's play 60 mins ...

and remember!! - first intermission is ONLY 15 MINUTES, not 35 as it seems to be last night!!

hopefully smith is in a press box for a couple games...

Fire Holland? Fire Battman, Fire this, fire that.... HA!

 

If Detroit Red Wings or/and the league itself, are to be managed by majority vote on this board or any other group of random people for that matter, there would be no NHL, no Red Wings.... and no this board

 

Move on!

somebody tell these motherf***ers wearing wingled weel this year, hockey game isf****** 60 minutes, not 20, no 45, sixty! and the first intermission is only 15 minutes, not 35....

... Everytime I see Datsyuk and Zetterberg, I think of how unfair it is to them to have to lose 60 career goals and 80 career assists to their lifetime totals ....

Last time I checked these two were getting their lifetime goals and assists. Players have places where they could go, and many actually went to explore these places.

Now, tell me about Detroit Red Wings or Toronto Maple Leafs or any other NHL team. Where is these can go to earn their goals and assists?


You guys massively misunderstood the situation. As well as an author of the funny picture above misunderstsood it. Unions bring FEHR, not Bettman. Feel the difference.

Pee in Gary's corn flakes

Take a couple more beers and dont forget Fehr brother's flakes too, or just start with them.

You obviously have no clue how the PA works. Players have stated times and times again, how good of a job Fehr has done to provide them with information.

Sure, I have no clue.

But still, I can read. I read what Suter had to say, and I read what NHL had to propose.
I compare. Than I read you saying how good of job Ferh has done, and I laugh

And I say, players are being way too politically correct towards PA leaders...

Thats funny, considering you emphatically state over and over that, and I quote, "owners need more money to cover increased expenses".

So even though you admittedly have absolutely no clue what the expenses are, your argument is that you just somehow know that the increased expenses are so severe that they require a nearly 50% rollback of player salaries over the last 2 CBAs while revenues simultaneously have risen by over 50%.

You took my arguments out of context.

You keep saying what union's reps were says, and I keep saying what league's were saying. However, my talks are funny and have no ground while yours are universaly known truth.

I said I haven't seen teams financial statement, but PA saw them for sure. However, they don't argue expense increase, they argue how much...

I am still trying to figure out where he demonstrated a hate for unions.  It certainly wasn't said in this thread.  At least I don't see it.

I once said: 'yes, I dislike unions in general'
English is obviously not my native language, but I'd never thought dislike is a synonym for hate. Well, I also dislike milk. Or should I now hate it?

In reality, both sides are at fault, with the NHL being more at fault for being pricks than the NHLPA.  In the end, neither are willing to budge from their positions. ...

Although, prick is not a term used in negotiation, I'd disagree NHL is more pricks.
I don't see any reasonable function of PA in todays world. Who is Don Fehr? Does he play professional hockey? Or does he run a bussness, or manage proffesional hockey organization?

Oh, yes he protects players rights as a group. Not to mentioned an army of agents and lawyers who are also protecting rights, our poor players are left unprotected. I'm crying...

Lets tell Parise hisf****** rights were brutally violated by Minissota Wild... And that poor guy Weber, he's left rotten under the sun by Nashvill Predators... I'm still crying...

What does it matter when they were "Ready for negotiation?"  There's been plenty of time to negotiate this past week and they haven't been doing it.  

We're three days from the lockout and they're still not even talking about the same core issue.  It's not about the timeline.

Of course it is about timeline.
I can reasonably assume, NHL offer would be the same in January, can't I?
Then, instead of having 4-5 weeks to ping-pong offers, they would have 30+ weeks.
However, PA decided to play blitz.
