well that sucks

Yea the NHL is pretty much done, let's face it they don't have amazing tv ratings to begin with. Baseball never really recovered from the strike, it's going to be even more difficult for hockey to survive.

a lot of the smaller teams will disappear. That is my prediction. Toronto, Montreal, Detroit will all be around. Phoneix, LA, etc will probably fly the coop

I remember when Tallahassee had a hockey team......the Tigersharks....... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

Funny thing is, until a friend of mine recently mentioned something about it, I hadn't even realized that there was a strike. Really sucks for the fans, all eight of 'em! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

You mean people actually watch hockey?

I miss hockey. Been a Devil's season tix holder for years. The sad thing is the ratings for TV ARE terrible, and so is fan turnout. When the devils were winning like crazy even then the arena was only 1/2 full. Hockey is doomed.

I liked hockey when the Avalanche won the Stanley cup, but then they got a crappy team together.



I read that the players wouldn't accept terms that lead to an average $1.3 mil salary. That's so gay.

they announced that days ago

That's pretty crap - ice hockey is one of the cooler American/Canadian games.



Mark

pretty much no one likes hockey, and isnt this the 2nd or 3rd time the season has been cancelled?

Hockey rules, but the only thing is its not as exciting to see on TV than it is in person. Thats why it is hard to get good ratings.

hockey is a lot like figure skating but with sticks and minus the hot upskirt peeks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



so take something crappy such as figure skating, take away the only good part, and you have something even worse

hockey will still be huge in New York, Ontario (namely toronto) and other northern states. Itll pretty much die in the rest of canada (at least one of the alberta teams) and colorado will prolly still be around.

Hockey in person is awesome. We have a CHL team here in tulsa, the oilers, and they always put on a good show. We've got a strong rivalry with wichita, KS's team, and when they play, the place is PACKED.

Hockey? Is that like a pastry? What food group is it in?

Hockey is a dairy product. You have to remove it from milk after milking the cow. I hear if you let it sit around it turns black and hardens. Aparantly Canadians make pucks out of this stuff.

So it's not people?

Alot of people ARENT missing hockey cause so much more of the smaller leagues are more interesting to watch considering they do it for the love of the sport and not because they drive 'burbands and 'scalades

do they really call em burbands and scalades in canada? if so that explains why no rap comes from there

Two words: Kardinal Official?
