I don't know, Spilchuk. Outside of Lapierre, Gomez and Kostitsyn, they are all likable guys in interviews and such. It's easy to identify with them.

Subban and Gill are fun. Price, Cammaleri, Plekanec, Gionta, Darche, Hamrlik... none of them ever act like dicks as far as I recall. Even Gomez is just an asshole because he gets paid 8.5 millions to do nothing, but I would be OK with him for 3 millions.

But yeah, fuck Lapierre. Never liked the guy.

Christ I hate Gomez more then I hated Kovalev. That's saying something, since I have no love for that 40 game player.

I doubt he will cause any huge problems since MLBPA is much stronger than hockey's and both the owners and players saw how devastating the last lockout was.

The salary cap and floor should offer some stability unlike MLB where players wanted a lot of money and owners could be as cheap as possible.

What do you mean he won't cause any huge problems? - He is a spokeman for the players. The players fell they left too much on the table last time and they want to be compensated. Bettman's a hard nosed guy that works for the owners. But I believe the players are going to rally around Fehr, while the Owners are already somewhat split over certain issues. The owners won't like to be 'pushed around'. I could see some ugly coming. I hope I'm wrong.

Well in MLB, he was seen as one of the main reasons why steroid testing took too long and why it was almost impossible for a salary cap to be done. To be fair, Selig was as bad in reacting to steroids while also doing a lot of dumb decisions as well.

I think the main benefit NHL has is since the last stoppage was only a few years ago, its recent enough for the players and owners to notice how damaging it was to the league and would want to do a better compromise than almost doing nothing last time.

The players lost out on money from the current deal but they get a guarantee of a salary floor to combat any chance of the owners being as cheap as is the case with certain team owners in the MLB. They also know the public turned badly against them last time when they were expecting the owners to take most of the public anger.

I honestly think they will work something out, because thing about how bad it would be for hockey to have a 2nd lockout, 3rd if you count the shortened season back in the 90's.

Its giving hockey terrible publicity and thats the last thing it needs right now.

They wouldn't if they they understood the word "rebuild".

For example, you look at the Oilers who have, among others. Hall, Eberle, Paajarvi, Omark, Dubnyk and Petry.

An exceptional core of talented rookies that will ensure a degree of success in the future,something that T.O doesn't have and has not had for a very long time as they refuse to build through the draft because they wish to get to the playoffs. Something they have missed every year since 2005 and something they will miss this year as well.

I don't blame the fans since they got overly excited and arrogant when the Leafs had a very strong start to the season which had not occurred in recent years and then saw the season dead a month later when the team plummeted.

When you look back, what was so strong? 4 wins in their first 5 games followed by an OT loss?
It wasn't like it was ever a huge streak, even for a starving fan base.

It was more from perception since 8 points out of 10 and then 9 out of 12 in the 1st 5-6 games made the fans and media believe the team had a strong start when the Leafs actually only managed to not screw up the start of a season.

A lot of people start to suddenly think and believe they are Stanley Cup contenders when in reality the Leafs didn't actually do anything nor show their potential weakness.

Fast forward about a month later and now everyone is disappointed and angry since the Leafs went back to playing the same way they played last year.

The nerve of some fans, getting excited when their team has a good start. Bastards.

When they start a season out, 4-0 after being 29th in the league the year prior and talk about Cup Contention because of it, yeah ill make fun of them.

Blitz, your a smart guy, so tell me something. Why in your opinion are the Leafs so against arebuild? In 5 years they could be where Los Angeles is now, a team that bottomed out, stocked picks and has an exceptional core of young players. In 5-7 years, they could be another Washington or Pittsburgh, because you and I both know you don't get players like Crosby, Ovy, Backstrom, Green, Semin, Malkin, Staal or Fleury from FA signings very often.

In this day and age of salary cap restrictions, you build through the draft and the underrated tool that is an ELC because having a huge budget means nothing anymore.

What Gertner said. I would tend to shift the blame more towards the owners. They don't wanna admit there's a problem, so they just look for quick fixes.

Why can't we be excited about a good start? When your team starts the previous season with 8 losses, and then starts the next one with 4 straight wins, don't even try to tell me that that isn't reason to be excited. No, it's not reason to call for the cup, but every team has it's share of dickhead fans. I just take issue with implying that Toronto is the only team with that problem.
