Like A Mofo

Really? I didnt know that (sarcasm off) You make 25K a year, you are probably RENTING anyway, richer people CAN recover easier then poor ones, you are telling me the value of their houses havent gone up? Im sure it has, and Im sure a good amount of these players have some good assets they can sell to survive! Oh the horror of some of these poor players to be normal!!! Most of the players can go :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: themself, I PRAY the Sabres are contracted and I hope the league goes under. Im done with this subject.

I dont hate them because they are rich...I just dont want to hear sob stories about these players, join the club, plenty of NORMAL people out there who face WORSE problems.

These guys make 30-40K a year or something? Please, I have NO $ympahty for anyone involved with that crap league...and I got laid off, I dont expect sympathy either....but I know they are all spoiled babies...so its overhwleming for them to think like a NORMAL person with NORMAL financial issues.

Awwwww poor bitches....they can SELL their houses if they have financial problems.. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: all of them

You mean PartyRiver or Pacific River? Online poker rewards bad play.

And the other 20% are just wasting their money. Anyone who wants to drop a dime into that league has to be questioned. Really.

Who's R.Rich? Happy Birthday R. Rich!!!!!!!!!

Some of these "experts" are saying J.P. is fragile because that is probably ALL they know about him...you think thse "experts" sat down and watched a lot of Tulane football? Please....

Expect Hollywood Donahue here within 3 hrs after seeing this thread!

Ive actually seen the light....they are all dead to me now....I could CARE LESS what they decide to do...Ill use my money to do other things, plenty more to do then watch hockey. Personally, I hope this garbage now lasts 2,3 4 years, whatever at this point. Damage done.

Those greedy owners and players will NEVER get a dime of my money, Im selling all my Sabres stevestojan, because thats what it is to me now, a BIG pile of stevestojan taking up space

Screw the NHL, Screw the Sabres (I WAS a fan), screw Bettman, the owners, the agents, Goodenow and every player...I PRAY the Sabres are somehow contracted...will save good working people time and hard earned $ to spend on BETTER things

Screw the NHL!!!! Save your damn money!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another thing, E$PN says NHL Dead at Last???? Thats what they wanted. May that station rot in hell too.

Screw the NHL, Im done with that stevestojan league forever.

I did the SAME exact thing, got a #2 for Bledsoe from Arizona!!

Its Press Conference Mania!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can bet your bottom dollar there is still negogiating going on in each corner...whomever blinks 1st that briges the gap closer is ALL it will take....becuase you know DAMN well egos are a part of this...if one side comes down or up 2-3 mil...then the side that REJECTS the offer will be looked at as the pieces of stevestojan....theres still time!

They arent smart enough to see that logic.

I couldnt agree more...this is a f'in joke already...BOTH sides equally...to me you have to blame both sides.... I do not know if I will follow this league anymore if this becomes official..Im on the fence.

Another update from tsn.ca: The NHL's deadline for the Players' Association to accept its $42.5 million hard cap proposal has passed, and all signs point to commissioner Gary Bettman announcing the cancellation of the 2004-2005 season at a 1pm et/10am pt news conference in New York (live on TSN and TSN.ca). The league has already sent out memos to its teams that it has not contacted the union since Tuesday night, and the season will be cancelled.

11am was the deadline that Bettman imposed for the union to accept their $42.5M hard cap offer....Bettman's PC is scheduled for 1pm.....I know I may sound nuts, but a lot can happen in 2 hrs.

Neither side has contacted each other since late Tuesday night, when the NHL and the union stood pat with a $6.5 million gap.

Its 11AM! Do you know where the new CBA is?!!?!?

10:57am...3 minutes...the anticipation is killing me!!!!!

Bettman's PC is still scheduled for 1pm...the Players called their PC for 4pm....but I agree...i bet this isnt Bettman "final offer"
