Hotels charging for wireless access! :angry: Not only should you not be charging your customers for this service, but you are really bending me over when you want to charge me your $12.95 per day rate, PER DEVICE! Raise the room rates if you have to to offset your wireless internet costs, but don't rub this ridiculous fee in my face.

They need to follow the lead of Hockey Central(FAN590 12-1PM), and go on hiatus every summer. Either get rid of the show completely until the lockout ends, or have Sylvester open the discussion to all sports. Calling the show "painful" at this point, is an massive understatement!

Country girl shake it for me, girl, shake it for me, girl, shake it for me! :w00t:

I bet the NHLPA is not to happy about Modano's statements... http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/8396004/mike-modano-estimates-lost-7m-last-lockout "In hindsight, it wasn't worth it," he told ESPN The Magazine for a story gauging former players' opinions of the last lockout. "It was a waste of time. We thought we were stronger than we were. We started falling apart as the months clicked by."

Thank you! ...and thank you!

There are many NHL owners LOSING money(1/3 of them?) and at the same time all the players are MAKING at least $500,000 or so per season. WIthout the owners putting up with these losses, there wouldn't be some 900 players earning at least the minimum salary. I'm supposed to side with the players? The only money they are losing is if their representation is stubborn enough to dig in their heels for the season. If the players don't like it, go play in the KHL or somewhere else in Europe, and then decide how bad the NHL owners are trying to screw them.

I side with the owners(as I did during the last lockout), but I hate both sides when I hear this phrase on a sportscast, which I did this morning... "No talks are scheduled." Seriously? Go f*** yourselves! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Good to hear this nonsense is over. Now Doan can finish his career in obscurity.

Poor choice in my wording("hey Fehr what do you think about this?"), but if I was an owner, I'd be doing everything I could to do away with guaranteed contracts in the next CBA. If the players don't like it, sit out a year, sit out two, but eventually you will agree to it. Why is that such a far fetched notion? Do all 4 of the BIG sports in this country have guaranteed contracts?

No. What's wrong with it?

I'm pretty sure I've "complained" about this before, but it makes me so angry that I have to listen to this conversation several times a month... I am sick of people in my department bitching about how much other people in the department make. STFU! Either realize that you are already making a fair wage and great benefits(which they are), and stop worrying about how much anyone else is making, or quit and see how much money you are really worth on the street. This includes one of my own staff who keeps threatening to go to our department head with an ultimatum(pay me more or I quit), if some of the other complainers get bumped up in salary. Go right ahead. Let me know how that works out for you A$$HOLES! :angry:

Buy a Mac and don't look back! ;)

I have a suggestion to the owners. GET RID OF GUARANTEED CONTRACTS! That way turds like Leino could be cut loose after a putrid first year. See how Fehr and the players would like that suggestion. Don't forget Chara the Giant over Fehr's shoulder. My 2 cents...If you are planning on rolling the players out in front of the cameras, could they at least dress to the point where they don't look they rolled out of bed and put on whatever was laying on the floor? Not saying they need to have on suits, but don't dress like you just got back from the beach.

My mom has been battling it for a few years. :(

Summer is coming to a close, football season is starting, and hockey training camp should be around the corner. We should be talking about how the prospects are going to look at Traverse City, not this CBA/lockout BS. :angry:

My tradition...For the last 41 years, every October, I hope that this is "the year". Here's to that wish coming true in year 42.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried Cinco De Mayo a couple of times, but did not care for it. I will have to try the new restaurant in that location.

I look forward to a few Amerks game if the lockout drags on.... :angry:

Didn't take you long to fall off the Pegula bandwagon. :rolleyes:

:lol: Even funnier...I would bet that 90% of the things I complain about in this thread, I probably posted about somewhere up thread. :lol:

People who have to back into their parking spot. Unless you are at a sporting event where it is a pain to get out, why do you feel the need to back into a spot...and oh by the way, you SUCK at doing it if you need to go back and forth 3 times before you get it right.

I have heard Ted Black in the last year refer to it as the slug, and now I see this in the Sabres store. It cracks me up that they have embraced it as the slug. :lol: Don't know why it showed up sideways, it was correct prior to download.

I think the old Bison jerseys would make for an outstanding 3rd jersey!

If I had to keep one member on the remaining core(Pominville, Vanek, Miller & Stafford), I would take Pominville, and there wouldn't be a close second.

They will try and convince you to let YOUR money sit in THEIR bank account until the playoffs(if the lockout doesn't last the whole year) or until next year(if the entire 12-13 season is a washout)
