commentary...

i may not be a fan of the Washington Capitals,but i admire the opinion of Roman Hamrlik,who may stand with the players in terms of the NHL lockout,but his opinion to force a vote,by the players,on a deal that may,or may not,be on the table... he is a 20 year veteran,and has been through several strikes,and lockouts,and some of the players may not be happy with his opinion,but he has some of the frustrations of the fans,which no one honestly cares about,period... to the vast majority of players,owners,NHL,and NHLPA,the fans of the beautiful game of hockey are very pissed,and no one really cares about the fans... they may tell you that they are doing it for a stronger game,but,let me tell you something:there is a $3.3 billion revenue pie(the revenue numbers last year),for both the NHL,and the NHLPA,to slice up,and there was a report(yesterday)that one NHL club(Toronto Maple Leafs),is worth a billion($1B)dollars,so i know that some NHL clubs are struggling,but with that big of a revenue pie,they should be able to slice up,so do not tell me that the NHL,and the NHLPA are doing it for the strength of the game that is the NHL,because with that revenue pie,the NHL is healthy,but the small market teams are still complaining about their slice of that revenue pie... who honestly cares!!!!!!! while the owners,and the players fight over that revenue pie,the fans,the people associated with the arenas,along with the small,and big businesses that survive on the fringes of the towns that have NHL teams are really suffering a massive revenue drain,but both of you morons do not care a flying whit about them,not one iota,and that sickens me no end... the love of the beautiful game of hockey gives me solace,and yet every day,i read about the machinations of the business of hockey,and it makes me very pissed,because i see the beauty of the game,but then i see this circus,i get very,very sick of the people that say they care for the fans,because everyone involved in this circus are simply lying through their teeth about that fact... to Gary Bettman,Donald Fehr,the owners,and the players,who make a massive,almost obscene,amount of revenue,simply shut up,and get the collective bargaining agreement(CBA)ratified,and stop posing,and lying,in saying that you really care for the fans,because it is not true,at all,because if you did,there would not have been a lockout... i know that the NHL is a business,but it is also a beautiful game,and yet the fans still suffer,because the business of the NHL really sucks,and both sides of the dispute,who will make out royally,no matter what happens,with the NHL lockout,but again the true fans still suffer,and they are really pissed... to those people involved with this circus,expect smaller crowds,lower television and other revenue,for a while,because you have really pissed off a vast majority of the fan base... even the true fans are really pissed,morons,and whose fault are that:YOURS!!!!!!!!!!
