A moment of silence, please....

Anyone who says they would skip the banner raising becasue of a labor dispute is a fool.

I ma going into meditative silence to pray!!!!!

After those bean & cheese burritos and beer I just had for dinner, lol, it's gonna be silent, but deadly.

That's what the NHL & NHLPA deserve. mhihi:

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.

I get your point, however who is paying for these two groups to exist? Why would they deny the people that pay for their salaries the enjoyment of their entertainment.

It will be forgotten by next October. Keep up your support.

Taco night here too. I was planning to use the effects to clear the room so I could watch the DVD of game 6. Oh the rumblings are a coming

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.

If raising the banner in person at Staples Center is the highlight your life, we got a long way to go.

TC, I like all that you do for LGK but I have a problem with "we're" in your sentence. If it was up to us, the NHL would be playing hockey now, it is they that will hang the banner when they decide it is right.
People seem to forget that the fans have no say in what the hockey groups do, we can only support them with our money and with that comes consequences.

I still love the GDT!

Dont fight them, let them roar!

Screw the NHL and the NHLPA. This should have been our day to celebrate.
