Can I Get an Amen?

So I realized that I am not the only person who thinks this NHL lockout thing is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Cause it is and I think that every true Canadian agrees with me! Perhaps the thing that puts the professionals even to more shame is perhaps the future of hockey himself, Sydney Crosby. So this kid is like 17 or something, gets offered a contract that is just ridiculous for the minors...a couple of million for like 3 years or something. Wanna know his reason? Cause he wants to win a Memorial Cup with the team he's with now! Maybe the players that get air time on TV and other endorsements could take a page out of his book, and realize one major thing....YOU ARE PLAYING HOCKEY FOR A LIVING!! Holy crap. Can I get an amen?

Well I am highly doubtful that there will be a resolution this year to salvage any kind of a season, which sucks cause that means no playoff pool! Oh what to do? Maybe I'll enjoy some casual curling, snowshoeing, or maybe even cross-country skiing...oh and I'll combine it with shooting a high powered riffle! (What kind of freakin' people in Switzerland invent these sports? I doubt if you went over there that you would find any Alp Snipers on the hills!) No maybe I will take time to watch the World Juniors, you know kids that play hockey for hockey's sake. So long Sundin, hello Sydney!!

i agree completely. for playing a game a couple months out of the year and getting a couple million dollars, this lock out is stupid. they dont need any more money. i think that they should just accept what they have and be greatful, because if the NHL were to take there money and give it to a good cause, and feed hungry children around the world, the world would be a MUCH better place. they are playing a game and complaining they arent making enough, well screw them, there are people around the world making, maybe a dollar a week, and trying to feed their whole family. it just somehow doesnt seem right. the same thing goes to the music world, sure they are entertaining but, they shouldn't have 10 cars, or a 5 million dollar house they're never in. they should do something good with the money and get a real job. the lock out is stupid and something should be done, so that these selfish pigs realize how great they have it. it could be alot worse
