I really need to see Lemieux one more year...Especially after the Pens went out and signed the Wrecking Ball to be his RW...
I just feel fortunate that my sons and I got a chance to watch him (along with Pojo for 1 or 2 games) after he came back in '00....
I was overseas during the majority of his 1st stint....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

I was lucky to have spent way to much fucking money in the igloo way back when to see some games...went to school 45 minutes north of the city...during their heyday...

Pojo, I'm with you on the ability to win. I think as a fan most of us are accepting of a team rebuiding to become a winner. But when teams get into the constant process of letting all their talented players go because they can't afford them, that's a huge problem. Many of the teams in MLB are caught in that dangerous cycle. And I'm also with you that MLB is on a totally different level than hockey in the U.S.
With regard to the NBC T.V. contract. I heard that NBC has some oddball open agreement with the NHL where they only pay if they televise games. Apparantly the deal they signed stipulates they have the broadcast rights, but they can pick and choose the games they want to televise and they only have to pay when they show games. Supposedly, nobody really was bidding on the NHL broadcast rights so that's why NBC got the deal that they did. They were talking about the NBC contract on the radio which is where I heard about the details of the NBC contract, so forgive me if I'm a little off on the facts.Last edited by Chris; 12-30-2004, 07:12 PM.Comment

I'm in one of the craziest NHL towns there is. And I know some people that initially acted like it was the end of the world. But, like anything else, people are realizing that life goes on.
Me? I could give a fuck. Frankly, this is a great NFL season. And that's all I could ever give a fuck about.Roth Army Militia

No...I heard the same things...NBC learned from ABC who was bitching about the games...and actually took the NHL off its schedule a few weekends...and still had to pay with the deal they signed...
NBC got a good deal...knowing that season games don't draw...
wonder how they play in the playoffs...or if they are still mostly all on Cable like last year..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

To end the year I'm drinking my morning coffee from my NJ Devils mug. Just thought I'd mention that here.
Secondly, I remember the strike of 1994-1995 was settled in very early January of 95. I'd say they've got about 10 more days or this season is kaput.
BTW, great thread guys. Interesting shit.
I think the NHL must have a salary cap. Preferably a hard cap.Comment

Me too FB. Hopefully, they'll get an agreement and we'll have a short season. IMO the players have nothing to gain by losing the season so let's hope sanity prevails.Originally posted by Full Bug
