Won't happen its about the money now

ur 2nd post - PPl are stupid.

 

LOL yea still make no sence to me but takes all kinds I guess

 

You can tell the players who want to play, and the player who are just in it for Cash. The 6 million a season people can suck my ***, I'd rather watch the 2 million/season player cause there really into it for the fun.

 

Ohhh yea. I think it makes a big differance in the way they play when its for less money cause there not so worried about if they mess up its more fun to them [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]

 

Yeah thats pretty much what I thought about that too...

 

All I see is "its not about the money" and "they get paid too much". Well they are in a job and I'm sure you would'nt want a pay cut either. Am I condoning that they make lots of money...NO. What I am doing is saying that both sides have their right points. Owners are sick of paying high prices to players. Fans are sick of paying high prices for tickets. Players want to get paid for the job they do with what the market will bear. Plain and simple its you the fans that are the reason things got this way. Don't blame the players, they are just playing the money game while they can. This goes for all sports not just hockey. If fans didn't go to games and watch on tv(which is where the real revenue is) then owners couldnt afford to pay players as much. Hence players would either live with being paid less or get jobs. You have 1 of 2 options, either stop watching sports or stop whining and live with it

 

I understand what you meen. I would still watch either way lol just would be nice for the time that the NHL is locked out if they played for some fun.

 

We shall find out at 2:30pm what Gary has to say, suppose to have a news conference check out tsn for cyber cast of it incase you don't have cable/sat.

Those asking for a raise shouldn't be they get paid enough as it is. IMO. Not everyone can afford the luxuries of watching them on television or live, if they keep upping that they're not gonna have many people there therefore where's the income gonna come from?

What or who pays the salaries with teams like tampa bay or carolina for example? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] They sell tickets as cheap as $20. I can't remember which team it was that would sell all tickets for $20 at one point not sure if it still happens, but i know the cheapest you'll find a Leaf ticket is like $60. For a good/decent seat its around $80-$100. It's insane my dad gets seasons tickets at the ACC for the Leafs and the prices on those tickets are like Especially when playoffs hit every ticket doubles and your lucky to find a play off ticket under $100...

It's just as trevor linden said, the players shouldn't be held responsible for owners unresponible spending habits. Salaries should be capped, but without the players taking pay cuts.
