The NHLPA is full of a bunch of selfish bastards
They rejected a VERY reasonable counter offer from the NHL, mainly because it calls for a higher pay cut for the players making $4 million+ per year, and LESS of a pay cut for players making less than $2 million per year.
The NHLPA offered to reduce all contracts by 24%...the NHL's offer would reduce 91% of all contracts by that 24% or less, and the other 9% would represent the highest paid players, which would have to take more than a 24% paycut.
Honestly, I've had enough of this sh*t. I love hockey as much as the next person, but I havent missed the NHL this year one bit. I've had more time to watch football and basketball, and I never even think about hockey. MAYBE that will change come April-May, but I doubt it. That's not why I'm pissed off...I'm pissed off because I know a LOT of people really look forward to the hockey season. It's a tradition, and they dont really care for the NFL or NBA like myself. Meanwhile, these SOB's are pouting over $500,000 a year when they're already earning multiple millions.
*flips off the majority of the NHLPA*
