Well, for those of you who are hockey fans like myself, today is a dark day. Not because Canada won the world cup... That's GREAT! It is a bad day because as of 12:00 tonight the Lockout for NHL hockey players will be in full swing and there will be no NHL hockey for a good long while. AND THAT SUCKS!!! This is NUTS! I just don't understand how something like this can happen inside an organization that handles this much money. The owners are losing money and can't afford to continue with player saleries so high so they need to cut the saleries down a notch. Fine, so do it. But they can't because the players have contracts that say that money is owed to them and they wont take a penny less! It makes me wonder if it ever dawns on these people... That they are paid a TREMENDOUS amount of money to PLAY HOCKEY!!! Most, if not all wouldn't even have to change their spending habits much because so much cash is at their disposial anyways. It blows my mind. The game has already gotten to the point where the average person can hardly afford to go to a game but this is crazy! To actually believe that they are worth the money they are paid is crazy. I've only seen one player who was truly worth all that... The Wayner! And since him, no one is even CLOSE! And HE would take less money! When he went to Los Angelos he didn't take the first offer they gave him because it was TOO HIGH and these players wont budge! That makes me sick!
Come on guys, who needs that kind of money anyways? You're paid and paid well to Play hockey. I pay 10 bucks a night at 10:45 PM to play. Take the cut and play the game you love to play. Don't do to the NHL what was done to the MLB. Remember why you started playing in the first place! Come on! What else am I gonna do on Saturday Night?!!!
