Somebody had to say it!

He makes a good point - not that I think the players involved will pull their heads out of the sand (or wherever they stuck them) long enough to hear it or think about it.

just makes ya hate em even more eh.

It's ludicris,
Goodenow has done nothing but stir it by encouraging players to take jobs elsewhere.
And then him and the other players will have the balls to knock players who play in the NHL as replacement players.
Ya know, I'd rather seethose replacement players at this point.

Enough to make ya sick seeing what some of these guys are doing.
Then they go out and say 'hey, I have to compete for my job all the time, it's a free market system out there' blah blah blah.
It's hypocrisy at it's greatest extent.

When it all boils down to it most athletes are greedy sons of *****es and they will take a roster spot from someone like that guy just so they can play and still get paid. more and more I wish Congress could regulate pro salaries, lets see these ****ers live off 500 a week, most never have nor will they ever.

 

[Bossy22]

Less than half the NHL haven't worked as replacement players yet this year. Bring on NHL replacement players.

 

[Prongs]

Im glad he wasnt afraid to express his views, and I totally agree with what he has to say

It appears that the owners are heading in this direction. The experts say they didn't improve todays offer all that much so they can claim a impass and head to the courts. If the courts agree, they can impose their deal and let whoever wants to play play.

50% of NHL players would be back by the end of the season, 25% right away.

I think the owners already found the first replacement player. . .

sadly, dave is no longer with us :/

Bummer. Had no idea.

Heh, if the owners do bring on replacement players, imagine how many RCs would be in the next year's products?

Heh, the Young Guns set would take cases just to build (perhaps like it does now?)

I've been considering buying one of those on ebay, but I always ended up being too lazy to go through on it

 

[Bruinsneedagoalie]

I hope the owners do go the impass route....

Let them bring in replacement players...the union will break pretty darn fast in that case. I'd love to see Thornton in Bruins jersey again, but if he's to stupid and decides to stay in Europe for the rest of his career, so be it...i know i'll come to love watching some other Bruin play as much as him.

It amazes me that after the halfway mark of the season, the players still thought they had the upper hand. I wonder how quickly they'll accept a salary cap in order to play to avoid being replaced?

Bring on the replacements!
