Philadelphia Flyers forward Turner Stevenson says fans should not expect to see any NHL hockey played this season.

"I've said for a year now, it's going to be at least a year, and I still think that's the case," he tells the Prince George Citizen.

"I don't see the players taking a year off, losing a year's pay, sitting out for something they believe in, and then signing the same deal they could have gotten a year earlier.

"Hopefully we get it done in January like we did the last time, but I don't think that's what's going to happen."

"No Stanley Cup handed out this year."

Stevenson believes it is the owners goal to make the players suffer financially and that if they attempted to start again using replacement players, there would be trouble.

"I don't know what the owners plan on doing, if it's using (replacement) players, or what," he tells the newspaper. "But players have contracts, and that would end up in so much litigation. . . there would be so many lawyers involved it wouldn't be funny.

"I don't think people will pay $100 to watch minor-league players, when they can watch a minor-league game for $15."

Stevenson, who signed a three year, $4.9-million deal with the Flyers this past summer, adds he's not impressed by comments from some of the younger players who would consider playing under a salary cap if it meant an end to the lockout.

"It's easy for them to say that. When I signed, I got a $120,000 signing bonus, everyone now is getting $750,000 or more. . . If some of these guys left the game tomorrow, no one would miss them, so their opinion is an uneducated one."

He's right about there being no hockey this year, but the quote that really got me was
"If some of these guys left the game tomorrow, no one would miss them, so their opinion is an uneducated one."
He should look in the mirror on that one, I'd rather have Mike Commodore skating for my team than Stevenson anyday of the week.

I completely agree with you Klepto. Guys like Ribeiro, John Madden, Pierre Dagenais and so on that speak againts the lock-out always get crapped on by players who already have big deals. Turner Stevenson really looks like a dick in that interview.

I'm a Flyers fan but Stevenson defiantly sounds like a douchebag in that interview. He sucks anyway.

Yeah, since when has Turner Stevenson ever done anything significant, anyways?

He is terrible.

**samichna** · 11-03-2004, 05:05 PM

Okay, and the All-Star Game is officially cancelled.

Prince George represent

But yeah, who does he think he is? He must be getting too used to the red necks up here telling him how great he is, because he really isn't. He has the nerve to talk about contracts? Fuck off, what about the fact, not to mention risk these NHLers are taking playing in Europe and other places.
