Title: False hope got the few NHL fans
Post by: Tynstar on February 16, 2005, 07:06:51 AM
They have pushed the deadline back 2 hours.

I can't believe the hold up is 7 million dollars. League said 42 million salary cap the NHLPA said no 52 million cap. League said no so the NHLPA says 49 million cap NHL say no.  ::)

Gary Bettman needs to go away. He is the reason hockey is the way it is.

I agree , Bettman and the Rep for the NHLPA  need to go away.

It would be nice if that cap issue gets resolved. Its a few million dollars  >:(

What a cluster fuck this is.  At least some progress was made so there is a chance for hockey next season.

I would bet that if Bettman where to walk down a street in Canada right now he would be killed.

At least up here you can't walk down the street without tripping over a hockey team.  We have plenty of opportunity to watch hockey, includng a few pro's playing on the Motor City Mechanics.  I think they are a UHL team that Kris Draper and Chris Chelios play on.  I feel bad for you guys down there.

Rub it in bastards....Rub it in. :(

All we have is club hockey at ASU and U of  A
And then there is Nothern Arizona University  ::)

But they are just stinking clubs. Hell I could go watch an "A" league at a local ice rink and watch a game just as good :-/

I dont care that we have no hockey to watch. I have lost all intrest in the sport. The only thing I want to see is Steve Yzerman play again. After that I am done.

I wisk Phoenx had a pro Curling club. Now that would be the shit.

The Whalers complex is right down the street from where my girlfriend works.  Quite a small place.
