The NHL is dead to me as well. They take the fans for granted too often. I'll never buy tickets to games again (including my Wings), I will never buy NHL merchandise again (unless its unlicensed) and I will limit my viewing on TV. Boycott both the players and the owners. You're a fool if you spend your hard earned money on them.
They can all go pound sand. (I've been listening to a lot of Handel on the Law lately.)

What if every Vikings fan slowly but sure abandoned their team? Eventually they would have no support! One of these years when they finally are successful I'll be able to say I stood by their side the entire time!PuckU126 wrote:You really are a Vikings fan...starmvp wrote:I have hard feelings about everything that happened...

Fair enough... So you won't even watch the playoffs this year?-

As to the question of whether I'll watch the playoffs, if it doesn't conflict with:
1. An evening bike ride
2. Walking my dog
3. Taking a nap
4. Watching something on the 100+ other channels I have
5. Taking a drive

So no chance....This "season" (that they may have) has already been sullied by the greed and arrogance of the owners and players. In fact, there shouldn't be a playoffs; it would only taint the Cup. Put a asterisk next to the team that wins like Barry Bonds' HR record.
Play a full season, weed out the best teams within the league and then get Cup Crazy.

I was definitely thinking about that. With Parise and Suter I almost DON'T want the Wild to win the Stanley Cup this year because no one will give them credit for it. It would be much better if they won their first cup with a full season....PuckU126 wrote:This "season" (that they may have) has already been sullied by the greed and arrogance of the owners and players.

I guess I am of two minds on the NHL mess. I'm as disgusted by the lockout as anyone, and certainly don't plan to spend any money on anything NHL-related over the course of the season. No doubt whatever happens this season will feel tainted.
But on the other hand, I do think hockey needs a successful top-end league if it's going to continue to grow and inspire kids to start playing. If Suter and Parise can turn the Wild into contenders and make Minnesota hockey fans forget about this whole mess, I'm all for it. But then, I suppose that's just enabling them if they want to repeat this nonsense again a few years down the road. It's a dilemma, really.

I had a feeling another lockout would occur within 10 years of the last one.... Let's just hope we can make it more than 10 years this time or else the NHL will certainly lose the majority of its credibility.karl(east) wrote:I guess I am of two minds on the NHL mess.

The announcing of the score (I think it was 31-24 Frisco at the time) got almost as big a cheer from the Amsoil Arena crowd as when UMD scored on Michigan Tech.PuckU126 wrote:Your Packers sure laid an egg, karl.

Karl must be either licking his wounds or in a deadlock writing his rankings.

"Football"? What is this "football" you speak of? I remember going to an enjoyable East-Eden Prairie game yesterday afternoon, and then there is a nice big black hole in my memory after that. It's as if it were all erased or something. Wait...hang on...I'm having these nightmarish flashes of someone in a red #7 jersey running rampant. Kyle Rau, is that you? No? Who is it? Better to just ignore it all, and pretend it didn't happen.PuckU126 wrote:I expect all Minnesotans that dislike the Packers to do so.east hockey wrote:The announcing of the score (I think it was 31-24 Frisco at the time) got almost as big a cheer from the Amsoil Arena crowd as when UMD scored on Michigan Tech.

I would say "at least they beat the Vikings," but that really isn't much consolation at all.
