wheres the boobies?

Watching them on TV isn't really taking time off, is it?

So it's better to not see the banner raising in person? It's better to miss out on enjoying the excitement and atmosphere of watching the first ever Stanley Cup Championship banner raised at Staples Center as a silent protest because of a work stoppage?

That'll show em.

There's no way anyone will convince me that after waiting as long as most of us have for the Cup that they would be willing to go on a self imposed time out and miss the rest of the celebration.

as much as it sucks the season is not starting today, as long as we do have a season this year, could help us with the "cup hangover". Extra time off... but yeah still wish i was seeing the banners raised tonight and some kings hockey.

I would've been there for my birthday and the banner raising! You suck Bettman!

They should have a private ceremony with just the players and owners and raise the banner. Why should we again support them after getting kicked in the nuts this fall. I will watch them on TV but I will take time off from them like they have done to us.

I don't get this attitude at all. What exactly have they "done to the fans"? They are two groups in a business dispute. No more, no less. The NHL and NHLPA are in the business of providing entertainment to their customers. The NHL and the NHLPA don't owe me, you, or anyone else a damn thing. Does Columbia Pictures owe you something because you've gone to movies they produced in the past? Customers pay for particular form of entertainment because they prefer it to some other form of entertainment. When the entertainment is not being provided, the customers don't have to pay for it. That's it. Period. NHL hockey is my favorite form of entertainment and I miss it when it is not available. Once it becomes available again, why would I deny myself the enjoyment of it? To prove some nonexistent point? Seems like biting off my nose to spite my face.

Don't be pissed off that two groups which are in business together haven't forgotten that the sole purpose of their existence is business.

There were never boobies on the real poster. It was a movie about finding the perfect wave, not the perfect rack. That would be an entirely different film.

I was just remembering a great scene from the movie and a distracted walk.
