 Yer not the only one who gave up. I live right across the water from Victoria, and since they have the only decent rock station I can pick up, I get to listen to the commentary too.

 No word about hockey anymore. None. Zip. Now they talk about...curling. Apparently sports aren't sports for them unless its on ice. Next up, tiddly winks. On ice.

I heard some purported expert on sports talk radio the other day- his take was that if Bettman is able to railroad his policies through, it might make hockey viable again in places like Winnipeg and Quebec City. Be nice to see some of the Sun Belt teams relocate- hockey shouldn't be played in places where it never even snows.

Despite both sides being raging cocktards, the situation kind of makes sense.

Think about other sports:  where are the players going to play?

Where are the NBA players going to play if not in the USA?
Where are the NFL guys going to play football? Canada?
Where are the MLB players going if not America? Japan?

Fact of the matter is, the NHL onwers are in a bad position because all the players can go play in European leagues (shit, a large number are from there already and can barely speak English), and can also take advantage of the strong Euro.  There no incentive for them to stay in the USA, and the players know it.  On the other side, the owners don't want to let go of their cash cow.

In other words, I don't see any solution to the standoff other than breaking the NHLPA and bringing in non-unioniazed players from local places only.

And yes it's going to suck nuts.

I was thinking about this today. Since the NHL lost its phat money option from ESPN, does that weaken the players' position now? After all, there should be a lot less revenue in the pie now, at least $60 million. The owners can now say, "Look what this dicking around has already cost us?" And most were losing money anyway. Shit, $60 million is twice Nashville's salary from 2003-2004 I think.

Both sides are really shooting themselves in the head.

I watched a game from the Memorial Cup tourny recently ( watching Sydney Crosby pass = <3 )

Game was being shown on high-def by Rogers Sportsnet. I don't think I'll be able to watch hockey again on regular tv...

In other news, the Philadelphia Phantoms are in the AHL Calder Cup Finals.  cheesy

Correction: The Phantoms currently lead the series 1 - 0 over the Chicago Wolves, courtesy of a 1-0 win in Game 1 in Chicago.

Too good to be true?

Players and owners agree on salary cap?

Now, to hammer out some of the rule changes we discussed last year.

The fights are the only way I can get my wife to watch hockey.  She loves football and has frequently lamented the lack of fighting.  The NHL needs to do something after this.  More goons = better ticket sales, I say.

I got my fix for hockey watching my buddies play a rollerhockey tournament. Not as much hitting or fighting, but they do throw some mean shit in there to make it feel like a good 'ol hockey game. The final game was really intense. The place was relatively packed for just a rollerhockey game and everyone was up and down the entire time as pucks went off the crossbar here and there. Thank god it's all on tape. I'm going to watch that shit over and over again. Might not be NHL quality, but at least they were playing for the sake of the game.

How about we just skip Hockey.  Instead we can just put all the overpayed athletes from football, basketball, and baseball into no substitutions, no penalties, and no time limit games of Rollerball.

That's a No-Go...

Unless we get gratuitous amounts of T&A.

That is the only way Rollerball would be worth watching.

Let's get down to brass tax. CURLING would be interesting if Barry Bonds was injured in a horrible broom-related incident. In fact, I can't name a sport that wouldn't be improved with Barry Bonds' public and bloody demise.

You people have got to stop dissing curling here. Any country that has bowling as one of its most popular spectator sports has no right to put down curling (a far superior game to bowling, and yes I do both).

I think I enjoy watching darts on tv more than bowling...

Hmm, interactive darts tv, with Barry Bonds. Could be a winner.

It gets well covered by CBC. Our national men's and women's championship tournies are always fully covered. TSN likes televising Skins games as well.

Hell, I've got this game installed on my computer even: http://www.takeoutweight.com/
Based on that site, it may be a collector's item now :p

EA NHL Exclusive?
EA Nabs NHL License on 1UP (thanks PiTiFUL) is a story based some brief happenings on the EA Sports Website that may have tipped off a future announcement. According to the story, several graphics appeared for a while on the site with the words "exclusive license," indicating the possibility that a deal has been signed for pro hockey rights, along the lines of the exclusive deal EA inked last year with the NFL (story). The article quotes both EA and NHL2K publisher 2K Sports as calling the apparent revelation a mistake, though attempts to contact the NHL about this (in spite of all the time on their hands) were unsuccessful.

It might never be coming back at all. Heh.
