I didn't say it was laughable for the everyday fans to want Hockey by any means possible. We all want Hockey. There are criticisms to be made towards both sides in this. But to characterize repeatedly as just a bunch of millionaire players whining is simply being uninformed. Both sides in my opinion have legitimate positions. It's a question of coming to a compromise and an agreement on how to solve the key issues.

It's obvious you know your stuff but you did just call the idea laughable. You used that exact word. With the NFL using replacement refs, I wouldn't be surprised if the everyday NHL fan allowed the idea of replacement players to cross their minds. What I am most upset about is the possibility and insult of the stanley cup not being handed out this season.

Replacement players?

What kind of level of play do you think you would get with replacement players? You may as well go down and watch the local beer league.

we all could sign up as a squad. Meltzer's Maulers!



i'm so sorry

I didn't say wanting Hockey is laughable. I said using replacement players is laughable. And it is.

I think age is really starting to show here. I wonder how many posters haven't seen Poulin or Clarke play the game.

Oh boy. I made a comment like this about a certain RW months ago and it snowballed later in the thread. *waits to read more*

I'm down.

I'm not confused about what you were calling laughable.

I'll say it a little differently, other than the obvious players (letang, crosby, malkin, neal) that the Pens aren't trading, they have a bunch of crap that we don't want.

Whenever you open your mouth does the crap just start coming out? Or do you have to stick your finger down your throat first?

Sorry Flyskippy, no popcorn warranted. The code of conduct prevents me from feeding trolls. Need not worry my friend, I have reported the offender to the appropriate authorities. It is unfortunate, but these types of abuses do occur from time to time.

By the way, happy belated birthday.

Good night to all.

Cheers!

You can't stop FS, and you cant even contain him. He is truly the man.

Although, as we know, I am Da Man.

However, I apologize and am sincerely dissapointed that we all had to witness the offensive behavior time stamped at 11:12 PM
