Thread: The Official CBA Negotiations/Lockout Super Thread

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
My instincts say we'll lose the whole year but we've still got a month or two to salvage a Dec or Jan start up, so we'll see.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
I suspect we'll see our first real movement from either side in coming week but whether that creates legit traction for talks, who knows?

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
At this point, I don't doubt either side's resolve. That may be the problem. Owners think players will cave. Players think owners will cave.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
I think, like last time, we'll lose the season before anyone blinks.

Shame on all of them. The only league to ever lose an entire season because of a labor dispute is about to do it for a second time in 8 years.

Even my local liquor store clerk is making jokes about the lockout. Whenever I go to his store, lol, he asks me, have you been to any hockey games lately? He's Syrian and I am partially Lebanese, lol, so I guess us terrorists, lol, can joke with each other.

But, see, I got him to start watching the Kings here and there, and he's right, why bother getting pissed when you can just laugh at the NHL since they've become a joke. True, but still, if this drags past November, it will be hard to keep making jokes, not that it's really funny now, but I am enjoying making jokes about the NHLol! We hockey fans support this league through thick and think and this is what we get? Screw them!

Anyhow, I decided, lol, I want a hot Middle Eastern girlfriend, does anyone know where I can find one, I mean besides the Middle East because that's far, it will give me something else to think about while the NHLol finally gets their **** together.

Don't riot. Embrace your local AHL or ECHL team(s)

The fans ought to do the same.

This fan already has.

I am interested in what the attendance numbers will look like if/when this is ever resolved.
I am really edging closer to the feelings I had when the owners colluded to move the North Stars to Dallas. The only thing that won me back was Gretz, Kurri, McSorley and the gang. Also, Jim Rome pimping the puck before he went nationwide, stopped taking calls and sucked.

I don't see that happening this time around. At least my favorite team finally won the Cup before I started ignoring this beautiful sport and horrible league.
Maybe I'll just adopt the local AHL team. . .

Try Beverly Hills, but beware, they are very high maintenance.

Haha! No, I've heard about those spoiled BH American Arabian Princesses, lol, so out of my league. They like spending 200 dollars on shoes, haha! /stereotype
