Support NeoGAF

I wonder if Ron Hainsey is going to get boo'd to hell and back here in Winnipeg whenever the NHL starts back up again. I mean, I'm more offended that he gets like 3 million a year or something close to that and he didn't even score a goal moreso than anything he has done or said in this lockout. Yes, I know he is a defenceman, but for that kind of money I expect a little more.

Just because he has been pretty heavily involved with negotiations and interviews in this whole debacle is not a reason to boo him, after all, he is doing what he is supposed to in a situation like this. I hear rumours that he wont ever be offered a contract in the NHL again, which I think is stupid, since he's a decent Dman overall. Overpaid, but still good.

Ah well... At least he's not the walking/skating disaster on ice that is Johnny Oduya. Best trade the Jets ever did thus far to be rid of him and his similarly overpaid contract.

I refuse to build up hope that this will end anytime soon. It's all about the WJC's on the 26th for me now. And to a lesser extent, following the AHL Icecaps in St. Johns and the Colorado Eagles in the ECHL. Oddly enough, the Icecaps, like the Jets, cannot find any consistency, especially on the road.

I don't begrudge any of the Jets players in this mess, really. Thankfully, none have really said anything damaging and most people here just want the damn season to start so we can get back to enjoying NHL Hockey here again...

I suppose that's what we all really want here too, right?

I WANNA SEE THE STREETS RUN RED WITH THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES

ClydeFrog got banned.

At least that's one less Kings fan that's always in here discussing the lockout or, at the very least, bragging about winning the Cup last season. Good to know hockey means so much to them.

I will say that if the Flyers had won the cup last season this thread would probably be a lot less tolerable for all of you.

Clydefrog, wherever you are, you are missed. ::fistbump::

I don't think anybody was worried about that with Bryz in net...

Once the NHL comes back in 2015 we should try and organize a Fan Lockout, where on a day where every team is scheduled to play, absolutely zero fans show up.

Would be epic.

 

[Merguson]

Player is interested in fighting for the NHLPA?

Don't give him a contract ever again.

Two reasons this won't work:

1. Hockey will be back by Jan 2013 TEAM HOPE

and

2. Fans aren't nearly that motivated nor do they care that much

NHLPA full of stupid players who didn't go to high school or college. News at 11.

Roman Hamrlik just told me on http://nextsportstar.com that he would support the NHLPA taking a vote on the owners last offer.

Can't wait to hear Cole reply about how Hammer isn't there and shouldn't be opening his mouth yadda yadda yadda.

I have a new proposal:
- Permanently lockout every player making more than $3M per season. They're gone. Done. Go to Russia or Sweden or Fucklandia. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

- Offer remaining players 45% and tell them to take it or leave it. Otherwise they can follow rich fucks to Fucklandia.

We'd have hockey 24 hours later and all the d-bags would be out of work.

My son's team is doing a gift exchange. Given we're talking 15 year olds, it's expected to be about as high class as a Will Ferrell movie.

Sounds like I'm missing good times here in this thread....

You know what's a badass name? Boone Jenner.

I bought X-com today for 20 bucks. It's really awesome!

I walk outside for a few hours, and come back to a new NHL-GAF trend?!

There has been a tentative agreement to resume talks between the NHL and NHLPA on Wednesday. Location is TBA.

I wonder if all that money is really "off the table".

I want to see 300 million dollars on a table, I've seen 1 million on a table, that was pretty neat

 

[Merguson]

The only thing I have a problem with in regards to the "remaining issues" is that...

why five year contracts? plus it's obvious they are willing to go up to seven.. why not just make it seven or eight for everyone?

Because they'd rather it be five.

This Nope/Hope campaign is fantastic. I WANT IN.

Great work Spectre!

On a bit worse note, I just realized I screwed up my MSP-status, so I've been medically uninsured since Dec 1st. Whoops. Gotta send them a letter with my new Visa tmrw.
