You need to tell him our connection with Bettman is now in Saint Paul. Yeah, we're a bit more in his corner than most fan bases would be, but Leipold was his "buddy-buddy".

Credit where credit's due though. Nashville's a well run organization in an unlikely location. Nashville's success is good for the game.

I don't think that wishing for it to fail is as widespread as a lot of media on both sides of the border want to make it seem. A large, large part of Canadian hockey fans just want to see good hockey regardless of where the team is located.

Yeah..... honestly, Phoenix is the only one I ever hear people crying for blood over. Even Atlanta actually got off pretty much complaint free until it became clear that Phoenix wouldn't be relocated and the best bet to get the Jets back was Atlanta.

*edit: Other than my brother-in law, and that just started with this Shea Weber deal.

Yeah I've seen a lot more Flyers fans talking about Nashville failing in the past few days than I've seen/heard from Canadian fans in the past year.

Given that his line mates either maintain or increase their points per game over those same number of play off games while he drops by 20% I would say that is disappearing.

His lanemates being who, Chimera? He wasn't played with Ovi/Backstrom pretty much at all these past playoffs, and his numbers reflect that. Before this past season, Semin had 30 points in 37 playoff games - I'm pretty sure that would be considered a playoff performer, if maybe not a Conn Smythe candidate, no? He's not going to carry a team to a Cup on his own, but as far as a first-line winger goes his numbers look pretty good.

I found one that's more up to date AND it tells you the price for concessions.

I still remember when I watched a Tampa vs Rangers game when I was in Florida many years back. We got a pair of seats, 4 free hot dogs, nachos, 2 free beers, 2 free soda... for 30$.

My mind was blown.

Not a chance with the money he's apparently after. A couple years from now I can see Nashville getting in on free agents, but not while they're paying the huge bonuses in Weber's contract.

So the NHLPA submitted their counter proposal "alternative view" yesterday, but I don't see any articles anywhere on how that went, or what was included in their draft of the CBA.

I heard something about it on local sports radio (before the national "Hockey Doesn't Exist" SportsCenter news break). Something about them reducing their revenue over the next 3 years with a stipulation on the NHL maintaining a certain level of growth.

I can't be the only one feeling that everyone involved in the NHL and CBA stuffs needs a "Fuck you!"

When does curling start?

1) I'm unemployed right now and poor
2) But I could potentially Sell those tickets and turn a profit
3) If a lockout happens, my tickets are good for nothing... but I would get a refund, at least.
