Home Forums Skybox Sports Bar Clearing the Zone Anyone missing the NHL?

Another strike and more cancellations. This sport already came back from one death nail and will face another that it may not be able to come back from.

I for one do not miss it and would concur only die hards are truly missing the NHL.

Guess not.

Well, I don't miss it. The NHL pissed me off years ago. I was on a rant against Pro athletes in general and I shelled out my hard earned money to go watch professionals put forth pathetic efforts. Then there was the lockout and thought 'screw them'. I have not spent a dollar on NHL hockey (well, at least my own $). My company gave us all $100 one day and told us to spend it on ourselves and we had an hour. I bought a Canucks jersey :). I watch NHL hockey on TV though and follow the stats etc, just don't pay to see a game.

Now, I am so busy, I don't have time. Having recovered well from my bypass surgery in February, I am now in the process of moving halfway across the country for work. I have been on the road 6 of the last 8 weeks. Home for a couple weeks now and just got house on market but moving at the end of the month so needless to say, I have zero free time so even if hockey was on, I don't think I would be following it. Junior hockey I will still watch if i had the time but the big boys can go piss up a rope!

I hope they cancel the season soon, the stupid jerks on both sides deserve it. I don't think either side is negotiating in good faith. Just both are trying to stand firm and make the other blink, not very constructive. I admit i don't understand what it means to decertify the union and what is gained by that move but I guess I don't care anymore either. I will be moving on the weekend to Ontario, Canada and at least there is lots of great Jr Hockey to watch there!

Another month of the season gone. Who cares. I don't.
