Can't remember the movie, but I think the quote is something along the lines of, "You hear me, but you ain't listenin'."

It's a lot of words, in sentences, in paragraphs. There's no meaning to fans. How many times can owners and players exhaust this when their actions signify that the complete opposite is true?

Just as the players and owners have a right to fight over millions, fans have a right to balk at dumb poop like this.

I loved that ranch/cattle analogy that was kicked around a month or two ago by Jim Devellano. He forgot to mention that both the ranch and the cattle's co-existence -- in the NHL's world -- only works when the fans are the sheep.

And the more exclamation marks you have to use to prove your point means the words hold no meaning.

I bet Versteeg and/or White wrote that...

have you seen the hats that guys like Erik Cole are wearing?
- willey101

Bunch of morons....

Seriously. If I see another Hab wear it then they are boycotted from me. Means nothing I know but I do spend quite a bit on Habs memorabilia.

Good read
- defenceman101

If good means painful, then I agree. It's nothing more than a lame PR attempt, seemingly written by a second grader.

Not enough PA buzz words, huh? That's too bad, I love hearing all of those so much

- xxCHRISTOFIRExx

Yeah, like:

"Gary"
"Idiot"

those PA buzz words.

Never again to be taken from the cheering hands of our great fans!!!

This is an all-time needle.

It is hard to quantify how ridiculous this blog is on so many levels.
- Aetherial

I heard there's a report from the Broward County auditor that actually quantifies it.

Tell your "hockey source", instead of writing some crap that once again tries to show how concerned he is about the fans... as he plays hockey overseas... to write a letter to Fehr and tell him to get a deal done. Or better yet come back to North America and be part of the solution. Must be hard as he gets paid money that he receives at the expense of some poor sucker whose job he has taken.

memo must be from Cammalleri, he is into acupuncture

Yeah, but I heard even he says it's not that accurate.

Jesus that was weak.

- cue the lame video that the NHLPA put out moments after the lockout began

Didn't you hear? Every time an NHL player gets a contract to go play in Europe, an angel gets its wings.

He went to Western Michigan university, not sure if he graduated though.
- Symba007

Crap

Well he's still old

Yeah...if this guy is actually a part of the PA then he obviously hasn't been in contact with fans that ultimately pay him to play hockey. We are pi$$ed off at the owners and players for being so greedy.

I have said it before and will again...as fans we need to show our displeasure by not spending on the NHL for a good long time.

I love that movie for one reason: George Bailey goes to his friend's bar, gets absolutely plastered, and drives home so drunk he piles into a tree.

It's a Wonderful Life, indeed.

JVR sounds like a real puss.

Out of those 4 names you have a problem most with what Crosby has said?
- canadianpenfan

Just trying to get some Pens fans fired up....

Not sure what Crosby said wrong?
- stormey

No worries, I'm pretty sure according to Flyer fans, Crosby was responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus, the reign of Hitler, and the invention of the midget toss.

Didn't you hear? Every time an NHL player gets a contract to go play in Europe, an angel gets its wings.
- Irish Blues

And every time a player opens up their mouth to comment on this mess, an angel gets set on fire.

Sounds like part of the PR game both sides are playing.

How does this affect the optimeter?

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying light!

*shrug* That's all that came to mind when I read it. That and strawberry Jell-O, but I have no explanation for that second item.
- Irish Blues

Strawberry Jell-O never needs an explanation. If Ek were serious about ending this lock-out he would bring strawberry Jell-O to the next session and serve it to everyone (except Jacobs, he might choke).
