I can't wait to see the attendance for the next Columbus vs. Atlanta game. I hope it's nationally televised. I don't know if it'll be nationally televised, but if it's in Columbus, it will be well-attended. Columbus has better attendance than some Original Six teams. Expansion is not the problem. Do your homework before you spout off.
The NHL's troubles can be traced directly to the owners, from offering contracts they can't afford to hiring a basketball lackey to run the league. Bill Wirtz is their posetr boy in Chicago, where "fans" openly hate their own team. Player egos are just fuel for the already-blazing fire of idiocy that is NHL ownership.

Hey Roenick! Better put some ice on that attitude.

I heard Jeremy get interviewed by Howard Eskin for half an hour yesterday afternoon on the radio about this "quote". This story is basically a media "scoop" where Jeremy was asked a question following a few beers with the boys at a golf outing and Jeremy gave a passionate, long-winded answer to a question about the strike. The local sports-talk media took a soundbite from that answer and used it out of context. Surprise. surprise. They do it all the time around here. It's why I have always admired the Steve Carlton approach.

The wages paid to the players in all sports and every other form of entertainment, would be an insult to the intelligence of the fans, if the fans had any intelligence to insult.

``We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey,'' Well, thanks to your greed, that is exactly what EVERYONE did... way to go imbicile.

Hockey is a game played in February between Boston College, Boston University, Harvard and Northeastern for a Beanpot.

That's not JR, that's Brett Hull.

I know that... I had Brett mouthing-off back at JR.... He's the one that shattered JR's jaw a few years ago... The first time.
Awwww jeeeze... It's just not funny if you have to explain it.
To: K4Harty; TheBigB; thoughtomator; All
Gosh, some of you folks who come to these hockey threads are so clever. The witty and insightful comments like "What's hockey?"...they're absolutely sidesplitting. And the thing that makes them so absolutely endearing and shows how incredibly clever and innovative you are is that they appear on EVERY, SINGLE hockey thread there is.
OK, for the record, we get it. You don't like hockey; you think it's stupid, you think it's practitioners are stupid, you think it's fans are stupid. OK? We got it. Now please, offer your witty repartee on a different thread where it might actually appear witty.

My bad. That went right over my head, even though I knew that Hull was the one who cranked that slapper.
I was already feeling a little peeved about all of the charming comments that appear on every hockey thread.

``We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey,'' he said That's one for the ages. Actually, even though I'm a big NFL fan, I wouldn't mind if all pro sports went this way. It's turned into too much of a religion for too many people.

No problem... I should also include Darian Hatcher, who slammed JR into the wall for another crushed jaw. That was when Roenick played for Phoenix and Hatcher and Hull were still with Dallas.
Needless to say, they really don't like each other.

The guy is a public relations genius. What a puck brain. Hope the whole league goes down the tubes and these guys can get a job at the local convenience store.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought hockey was a game played by girls in skirts.

What's "hockey"? Once upon a time, it was the name of a popular sport, now it's just a word that is only seen following the word "horse".
