Is it just me...

[elocomotive]

Or have we had dickola to talk about for about a month now?

Lockout looming but no significant news from it. Player signings have crawled to a complete halt. Seems like there are a ton of free agents and RFAs still out there but it seems like the owners just are waiting at this point.

The labor talks appear to be going nowhere, which is fucking stupid b/c they'll just end up meeting in the middle in December instead of meeting in the middle now. Just a ton of PR going right now and no real talks happening.

It's a big void on nothingness in the hockey world.

Yep... this fucking sucks.

No, it's just you.

Well, I thought it was funny because he's a Natinals fan and they're in the playoff hunt. I just figured he'd have something to talk about haha. What about the Redskins and RGIII? <cough > Rep? <cough>

 

[flyersfan4706]

I have barely been on. Hockey world is dead.

 

[Slimpikins]

Yeah there has been no real hockey related news for a while. You would think that with the lockout looking there would at least be some news on the business side of the sport but it has been pretty dead.

I think there have been more posts about Jesus and baseball than there have been about hockey,

No you're just trapped inside my head.

We could have been talking about the Hookies...

FWIW, Weber has not signed with Nashville yet.

 

[davnlaguna]

I don't know which is worse.
Kings win and the only talk this off-season and most likely the season when it starts is lockout.
or
Kings win and have a chance (I feel) to repeat and the season may not happen.

Just like in '94, a big market team wins the Cup and all the momentum gained from that is lost in a lockout. Now we have another big market win the Cup, the league is popular, and we're looking at another lockout.

Not to mention 94 baseball was on strike and the NBA was without Michael Jordan. The NHL should've/could've absolutely taken over the sports world if they had the right people in charge.

The most important words of that sentence.

Must be tough being a Stanley Cup champion.

I sure would like to find out some day.

fucking sad part is the good they could do with the LA market and building the league in the States.... but lockout..........

and Bettman makes $8M

You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

time to follow the Finnish league
Watch an opponent go ballistic on Jarkko Ruutu, leading to cheapshot, Finnish league chaos (VIDEO)

Lol. Good burn! I more meant related to hockey.

I'll talk Natinals anytime, but nobody on here wants to talk about them. This team is ridiculously good and so young. And I like what we're seeing from RGIII. Everybody clowns on it, but it still might be a very good move. The past six months or so have been among the most exciting times in DC sports I can remember in the past decade.
