Yup, effected my friend directly and is a big reason why I will not support the NHL for a long, long time if they lose even 1 game. Sick of it all. Sick of the every day people that will have trouble making ends meet because of layoffs, sick of the players that will lose jobs because NHLers feel the need to "play" (which is BS), sick of the players thinking they are way more important than they are, and just basically sick of professional hockey in general.

The guys are treated like kings and act like spoiled brats. Air travel for 1 player every year costs more than the average person makes in a year. They probably go through more sticks in a year than the average person makes too. It's complete garbage.

Cowen, Benoit, Gryba, Eckford, Wiercioch, Borowiecki will be the starting six unless there are injuries - you can't really sit any of them - and the other three need to play. Especially Wideman, a guy who has a lot of skill - needs to get his game going somewhere.

If I can be considered average, then this is correct. I don't make a single stick in an average year. Not one!

What makes you say that? I care about Bingo.

Touche.

Seriously though, a player probably goes through 60-80 sticks a year, thats somewhere in the area of 20,000 dollars. They don't pay for a cent of those sticks.

This lineup will do well. The other teams'll be stacked for sure, but this team will be a huge improvement over last season.

Last year their biggest issues were bad defense and spotty goaltending. Lehner had issues, some of them related to injuries. Let's hope he's got his head screwed on better this year. As for defense, what did they do to improve? Cowen, for sure, is a bit part, and here's hoping that Wiercioch is finally going to get his career back on track. Like you said, though, the other teams will also be stacked. I think they're in tough, especially with a new rookie coach.
