Winter without hockey is a cruel mistress.

[Ol' Couch Ass]

Why would the official Lightning website post a gallery like this. It's salt in the wound.

[redbull]

can someone explain to me why people care about hockey

[TuralyonW3]

Yeah hopefully it will die.

[TuralyonW3]

I mean you can't see the fuxking puck when you watch a game

[reprise85]

professional hockey is great to watch in person. hands down my favorite sport in that regard

[The Omega Concern]

who cares if you got this...

im a few games in...like the changes from '12 so far. except the music...kinda sucks on this new one.

[Trotskilicious]

ea's music always sucks horribly as i recall

[wHATcOLOR]

yeah what a fucking annoying thing. build up momentum after 2005 and then shoot yourself in the foot. fucking cocks

[Mooney]

not digging the new ea game yet. i'm sure i'll get used to the new skating, but there are so many garbage goals. random weak wrist shots going in, and shitty, shitty rebound goals now that goalies come out more to challenge.


also following a labour dispute between millionaires and billionaires is pretty nauseating.

[wHATcOLOR]

SF just got an ECHL team, the SF Bulls, will be seeing a lot of them play i guess

whatcolor do you wanna chat about like
our cars and girls and stuff

why, because of jealousy?

i always support labor, no matter their pay scale.

hot babes and big wheels

or hot wheels and big babes if that's more your style

yeah, me too. still kind of nauseating. i defended the players to co-workers whining today that they should just accept less pay. players made huge concessions for the last cba, owners profits have since gone up, and they still think they deserve less of the pie.

i don't. union labor charges $107/hour to paint a fucking office in SF. includes materials, but still. its absurd

the simplest way i get over this issue is
you take away the league. the game
take away it ever existing

now imagine the players lives and the owners lives and how they compare

uh i mean keep the "simplest" part in mind like i'm mostly retarded but i'm aware of like nuances and such in labor disputes. but on the simplest level that is why i kind of think owners of sports leagues are invariably douchebags

get on the phone and we could just rap together
talk about all our problems and figure out all the mysteries of the world
you know what i'm saying

[wHATcOLOR]

it is something to think about

well otherwise you'd have mexicans working for 20 dollars a day

[wHATcOLOR]

that's not entirely accurate

[Trotskilicious]

possibly, but we're probably not going to see eye to eye on this either way

those mexicans dont have to pay taxes so it really evens out if you think about it

just something to think about

I'd like to hear the explanation of Hockey players having about twice the average salaries of NFL'ers as the NHL rakes in nearly 3 billion a year while the NFL is at 9 billion annually. I've heard some of the rationale, but whatever, those NFL owners are shitty (except SF's...we're back baby).

[JokeyLoki]

Fuck Bettman and the owners. Yeah, they're real broke, signing $106 million worth of contracts the day before the lockout. And those horrendous 10 year contracts over the summer.

Bunch of fuckers.
