THAT will help your dying sport and fanbase

""We're going to try to make it better for everybody, period, end of subject. And if you don't realize that, then don't come," said Roenick, who spoke at a charity golf event he played in over the weekend.

"We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey," he said Saturday at the Mario Lemieux Celebrity Invitational in suburban Pittsburgh.

The NHL and the players' association have been in almost daily negotiations to get a new collective bargaining agreement after the lockout that canceled the 2004-05 season.

"I say personally, to everybody who called us 'spoiled,' you guys are just jealous ... we have tried so, so hard to get this game back on the ice," Roenick said."

Wtf cock...you are spoiled...no way any mother fucker should make 10's of millions of dollars to play a game, while nurses and police man working 18 hour days make 40 Gs a year

most a player should make is 5 million i think

[Coleman]

he's one of my favorite players. I'm sure he regrets saying it now because you can tell that he had such a pissed off attitude at the press confrence that he probably just spewed it out without thinking totally.

Hockey players don't make too much money as it is ***Compared to other sports***. So them giving up 9 million is pretty generous.

saw that on ESPN, and i said to myself that he's gonna get thousands of hockey fans pissed. Ignorant fuck

Eh...I don't really care what JR says. I've heard him enough over the years. I like him for his passion, but he says a lot of stupid things.

If people keep paying outrageous ticket prices, concessions, and merchandise, than I say God bless 'em. I can guarantee you that the players wouldn't make that kind of money if people weren't subsidizing it in one way or another.

Like my boy Patrick Ewing said during the NBA lockout years ago. "We may make a lot, but we spend a lot." If that ain't a capitalistic attitude than what is? rock:

Police get 70gs a year and full pention after a forced retirement of 52-57 years old.

That's fucking spoiled.

Teachers also get full pention, 40gs a year to do nothing for the rest of your life is pretty sweet to me. That's spoiled. It's not spoiled if people are paying them to do something. "I suck, but give me millions to play on your team." Doesn't work that way. Not to mention a lot of players have kids whom they can't see for a lot of the season. It's a lot of dedication and hard work that not many people can do. I don't know why I care either...

Roenick's hilarious. It's really hard for me to take that guy seriously.
