Yep, when the players brought Fehr on a few years ago everyone knew at best there would not be a full season.
Yeah, I was holding out hope but when the NHLPA rejected the realignment plans earlier this year I accepted it was going to get ugly.
-
Yeah they learned that they can push back hard on the players and get more money. Their lead was used as an example by the NBA and NFL to keep more money.
All things being equal I am not a hockey fan. The game is not condusive to TV.
Pre-HDTV I'd agree with you, but not anymore. HD fixes the biggest problem which is tracking the puck. I wouldn't bother trying to watch hockey in SD.

I'm a huge fan, or I was. I love NHL Center Ice and watch a ton of games each week. I might be close to being done with the sport. Every CBA negotiations turns into a work stoppage. Its a joke with enough blame to go around.
At this point I want a deal done so next year can start on time, I don't think I want a 40 game season or something like that.
I really got into it a big way when I moved down here and started buying blocks of Caps tickets off a friend that has a full season package. I was planning on getting Center Ice this year too. This stoppage is insane on both sides...yes they have a great product, but you don't sign a massive TV deal to finally get a serious push getting the product out there and then cancel a season. The owners were greedy and Fehr is a cock who is perfectly content to destroy a game in the name of a salary cap crusade. I'm really hoping that some sanity breaks out soon.
I won't complain if they manage to get back on the ice this season but I won't kill myself if not. Actually have rinkside seats to see the Hershey Bears and Norfolk Admirals at VZ Center in a few weeks

I was going to ask about the possibility of a Caps / NHL subforum before this season started, but Donald Fehr is busy peeing in my Cheerios soooo...
Don't know what kind of hockey interest there would be here...something we could look into when these clowns get back to work?
Thanks!

I'm starting to wonder does Joe not trust Dickson. He gets open a lot but he also drops a lot of balls. If Dickson had Pitta's hands he would be one heck of a TE.
Same here. Dickson has repeatedly shown he can't get it done and I can't imagine Joe would risk it in a game like that.

Joe
You have to give props to Joe for taking the sack, but after the play I couldn't help think a QB draw would have been nice. When I saw the formation I thought it was going to be a handoff to Ray on a HB draw. After watching the play I think Joe should have pumped once to Torrey and then took off.
Like max said, Joe has to lay off the tranqs before road games.
Yup, whatever Joe's issue is on the road, Caldwell needs to get it figured out and fixed.

Before I forget I wanted to complain about the insanity of calling a pass on our last 3rd an 2. Yes a first down ends the game immediately, but why the fuck do you want to risk stopping the clock and giving them a second more than you absolutely have to? Much less an INT, considering how good their coverage was all night and that our passing game was just not getting it done? As far as I'm concerned we're lucky Joe was sacked and nobody got hurt on the play.
We've seen how that movie ends way too many times. Fuck you Cam.

do you not watch many AFC North games? This is standard shit.
Also 8-2 is what matters. And undefeated in AFCN.

You are really going to gloat after that lmao

oh wait now the game is over
bwahahaha
-
lol the game isn't even over yet and the steel whiner is already blaming the refs for make 2 separate defenders jump offsides
-
LMFAO at the guy who just got on national TV with a t-shirt that says "BALTIMORE FUCKING RAVENS"
-
Agreed Max! But I do need Torrey to catch a TD for my fantasy team today
-
Very nice, and I bet he feels good about making up for that penalty.
-
Someone had a chat with Cam it seems.
-
Week 8 is a bad time to change OCs. Harbaugh better have that CTJ meeting with Cam, but he needs to be gone after this season. I'm all for promoting Caldwell, and doing it the right way will put him in a position to succeed. Trying to change mid-season won't accomplish anything positive.
Pees could be gone tomorrow as far as I'm concerned. There's still too much talent there for them to be playing that poorly.
-
Complete collapse
-
Crap I live right down the street from there! I'll have to pay closer attention!
-
Cassel got annihilated there
-
AHAHAHAHA WTF IS GOING ON TODAY
-
KC is trying so hard to gift the game to the Ravens, but they just won't accept
I'm starting to think at this point that both teams are trying to gift it to the other.
-
They're doing their best to drown out the chorus of boos.
I can't believe they settled for a FG on that drive. Sad.

And you aren't kidding Dee that PA System is completely obnoxious for some reason
