Sorry not falling for the game.

Switching the topic with just another question.

If you dont want to talk about certain things that is alright with me. You just keep showing your true colours.

Go tell that 10 year old kid who cant afford to play hockey he should find a way. Or I guess your attitude is "I dont feel sorry for him".

I'm not switching the topic. This entire thread is about discussing the lockout.


Yea, I'm showing my true colors by wanting to keep the private details of my life private.

He spun the pride to principle after u gave him quote after quote of his... Too funny.
It must be exhausting constantly attempting to spin, dodge and change the subject everytime hes proven wrong. Which is often

- hugefemale dog77


it's just a game for him really, and he's pretty good at it. either he is an evil genius with a lot of time on his hands, or closer to my ping pong analogy he's a bit of a wall ... I keep picturing forest gump ping pong scene

either way... fun stuff

And I can back it up and point out how it is nonsense.

Why essentially is why you should have been banned thousands of times.

Yet you go cry to the higher ups whenever someone points this out.

Or do you not know many on the Flyers board have gone to twitter to get away from the constant crap on the forum? That you so love to instigate.

Its just a job, and it would be so easy to lie about too. It would help give a little more idea into your thought process.

My job has zero to do with my thought process. So let's talk about the lockout, which is what this thread is about. Interested or not?

When is the NHLPA decertifying? Will that solve it?

No thank you.

The lockout is about BS that none of us know really anything about because we arent there. Thats a line you would usually use.

I prefer to talk about how people feel about the lockout, solutions and opinions.

No idea! And I don't really know a lot about that. Only that knowing the little bit that I do know about it. I'm against it, and I think I would be on the Owner's side on that issue. But not knowing a lot about it, I have an open mind about it.

There's tons of information out there on the lockout. If you so choose to inform yourself on it. How can a valid opinion be formed without the knowledge behind it.

You know too much, and speak in circles just like him.

Well I hope this "contract" is ratified soon.

Does your trade create Billions in revenue?

- MJL

Not hockey billions, but billions nonetheless. I work for the 3rd largest communications company in the US.

You got me! I'm moving up the ladder. Being mostly pro player I have been accused of actually being a player. So now I'm the Commish!

I could be wrong here, but I think you missed the point of his statement...

I think he just implied you're Crosby's mom

See what he did there

Switching topics again. Not playing that game sorry.

I'm off for tonight. You also know perfectly well why you wont state what you do for work. Or why you wouldnt have stated how you got to such a position, who paid for it, etc. If you were a plumber, electrican, nurse, firefighter, etc you would gladly have said. Just another big wig who has had it easy and loves to feed his ego.

Have fun on MJLBuzz.

I really would have hoped my previous posts wouldnt be deleted but I am sure the crying has already began.

I really don't see how discussing the lockout is switching topics.

Yep, I'm just a bigwig who has been handed everything he has!

Good point, you seem to be on the players side, so I change that last post to Donald Fehr.

Nailed it, didn't I??

I did not ask him what his job was.

He posted about his job and volunteered his Union as an example to make a point.

NBA did it and it helped.

"After NBA players used dissolution of their union (through disclaimer of interest) last year , they never got far enough along in their case to get a result because they settled.

"My opinion is that (union dissolution) played some role," Feldman said. "It may have been a small role. …"

NFL as well though it took what 5 months.

In a communications company no one dept creates that kind of revenue. It's one machine with hundreds of working parts so to speak that help produce that kind of overall revenue obviously unlike professional sports.

But that's really inconsequential to the point, a union is a union is a union. They're all similar in structure and purpose, and they all operate in the same manner. The amount of money they represent is of little to no relevance, they all represent and fight for a group or groups of individuals looking to get the fairest deal and overall wage in relation to their particular trade or business.
