Looks likes I'm a football fan this winter...

even more so than I already am. Now primarily. That is because, announced today, the NHL's Board of Governors are imposing a lock out until a new collective bargaining agreement comes in. :(

Aargh, some NHL players get paid way, way too much. Players scoring 30, 40 points a year getting payed three or four million dollars a year? Bullshit. I hope they come to an agreement soon.

To me we should ditch the NHL and start a new home grown professional hockey league like the in lines with CFL which doesnt give such rediculous salaries!The NHL Is just some overly marketed expensive piece of shit. Most people cant afford to see a NHL game and even the worse seats costs way to much, There isnt enough action on the Ice to justify the costs.With exception of Toronto all the canadian NHL teams are stuggeling to keep their players even the american teams cant take it anymore NHL is losing attention that the NBA and NFL consume.

We need a new Canadian national hockey league CNHL or somthing.
