I agree.

When the next Cup is handed out (in 3 years), I'm buying tickets just so I can throw a very large, exploding rock at the guy who hands it off.

This from an agent, not the most trustworthy group on the planet when it comes to putting the interests of the game before those of those of their clients.

You'll need a lot of practice to hit so small a target from a distance, dl.

They often don't put the interests of their clients ahead of themselves. It's very hard to find anybody to root for in these continuing debacles. Agent's.........no..........ownership.....no (and that includes the Dwarf).........players...........sometimes (but not their Fehrless leader).........press.........no, they actually like this stuff. The only folks I really have any sympathy for are the ticket sellers and gate people, vendors, parking lot attendants, ushers, janitors you know the thousands of people who work in and around the games for a few bucks and depend on the money to help pay bills

I couldn't agree more, these are the real victims here....

No doubt about it.


The NHL got what it wanted from the last lockout. The players were willing to play until a new contract was reached. Owners voted 30-0 for this lockout.

I'll bet even Hank likes that 'Nuck fan! Great cartoon! Great cartoon!

This is shocking coming from an agent. What's next, an owner agreeing with Gary.

We all knew the lockout was coming, so on to my real dilemma that I need help with...for my birthday in June I was given a gift cert to the NHL shop. There were some problems with the card, so only this weekend was it set up properly for me to actually buy stuff with it. So what do I do with it now? Buying stuff now validates the lockout and is against my stance of not giving the league any of my money, but waiting until the lockout is over will also validate the lockout and pin me as one of those fans that will "flock" back. But then again, it wasn't my money in the first place.

Agreed. Greed driven jerks pointing fingers at greed driven jerks.
