There Will Not Be a Hockey Night in Pittsburgh

I don't know.......I just........I really have no idea what happened today. The only thing I'm sure of is that I would very much like to kick NHL Player Association representative Bob Goodenow strait in the nuts. The NHL players must be the stupidest people on earth, they turned down a CBA with a $42 million cap with no link to league revenue. This offer was actually too expensive for the Penguins but the league was willing to streach to that point. I have some bad news for hockey players.....
YOU JUST WALKED AWAY FROM THE BEST OFFER YOU WILL E-V-E-R GET.
Do you honestly think the NHL will have more money to give you after they miss an entire season? Don't blame the owners for what happened today this is on Goodenow's head. The league needs to be fixed and what happened today may in the long run be better for the Pens. It sucks not to have hockey, but don't blame the Pens, if you really need people to hate, blame Goodenow and the Rangers (it's always fun to blame the Rangers).
Peace out Yo
ps. below is a message form Mario Lemieux and the Pens
The Pittsburgh Penguins want to let our loyal fans know how sorry we are that the cancellation of the 2004-05 NHL season has become necessary. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
We fully support the league and Commissioner Bettman in their efforts to create a partnership with the players and establish a new economic system for the NHL -- which is essential to ensuring a strong future for the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
As you know, we are excited about the development of many young prospects throughout our organization, in the minor leagues as well as throughout the college, junior and European ranks. From a business and financial standpoint, we have been well-positioned to deal with the challenges of a work stoppage. We are committed to a bright future here in Pittsburgh and are confident that once a new collective bargaining agreement is reached, we will be able to put an extremely competitive team on the ice and provide many nights of exciting entertainment for our fans and sponsors.
We are very heartened by your support throughout this process.
Sincerely,
Mario Lemieux
CEO and Chairman; Ken Sawyer
President and Governor

Hey Matt, its Jeff. Its Saturday, the 19th and we might just hav a season. If they can cut a deal today, which is probable, it said so on ESPN, they probably will have a 28 game season.
Ok matt, i officially do NOT want to go to the green day concert, over the past week or so or whenever, i have heard of like 3 people who are going none of which know anything of the SoCal punk band in which i love. This one girl who is going, 6th grade, 6 tickets, 1 cd (American Idiot), oh yea she saw some of their videos On Demand.
I beleive that a new rule should be instated to go to a concert, a test perhaps, on the spot, no cheating aloud. This would majorly decrease the amount of posers and 12 year old girls at concerts.
A few questions would include, name atleast 3 members of the group, Name 8 songs, name 3 cds,
name the city in which this group was originated and a few others.
As i was rambling on this subject another 13 year old know-nothing imed me
oO GreeN iiCe Oo: haha, wanna go to the greenday concert?..
do you think she knows anything about them, nope. I gave an emfatic no! as my answer.
I feel bad for everyone who has liked a band when they werent so popular and then became popular and little queers started to like them becuase of a single.
