    You know..... it's a tough call for me. One one hand I realize that the players are just as much victims of this as we are. Well, I can speak for the Blues, anyway; they have made it be known during this entire lockout that all they want to do is PLAY HOCKEY, and how silly it is...

    but yeah this time I think Bettman is just being a petty tyrrant
    Well that's kinda what I meant. The big man just wants more money. I think it's ridiculous that venues can charge OUTRAGEOUS prices for food and drinks. I mean really $9 for a soda is ridiculous (oh, but wait! You get a "collector's cup" that isn't even dishwasher safe so you hardly ever use it and buy a new one every time you go there because you can't bring the old one back, and the free refills for the new one are worth more than buying the $5 dixie cup every time! ). The REAL victims here are us!!!! We get nickel and dimed going to every game, the players bring the spectators, and the venues take advantage of everyone.

    So......... yeah, I'm not sure if I'll watch the games. I certainly won't be going to any.

    I kinda wish the players would have started a league from scratch. Oh well, maybe during the NEXT lockout....

    The Blackhawks are 12-0-3 with a 15-game point streak! Go, Hawks! You got the 2010 Stanley Cup and it would be very nice if you could get it again!

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Go, Blackhawks! Way to win game 6! Come on home now and get ready to win game 7! The Red Wings are going to the NHL Eastern conference, which I think stinks, because they have a really good rivalry with the Hawks. Sort of like the Bears and Green Bay. Their fans come here, our fans go up there. Our two cities have a lot in common. Now we won't play them as often because they will play different teams.

    Here, with one of the Original 6 teams, you better believe people are watching! And going to the games, and staying until the games are over. One thing I have noticed - at the end of every home game, the players skate around the rink - applauding the fans.

    On the other hand, if Bettman were to go out on the ice, I think he would be bombarded with octopus . . . . .
