Junkpile said:Let me start by saying, HOCKEY. Like I said, it's not my fight. We don't have to really worry about unions down here. I'm not saying that good things have never come from an organized union, I'm just against the root principal behind them. The employees have no right to dictate wages, benefits, or scheduling. The employer offers a certain wage/benefit package for a certain job......if it's not enough, that job must not be for you. Like I said though, I DO recognize that unions have a history of being just as beneficial as they are corrupt. I would like to close by once again stating my original position of HOCKEY.
I just absolutely despise the AV's
mingez! don't hate the player! hate the game! sorry i had to say that. but really, the way that franchise is run is admirable. the thing about the fans is they honestly dont know any better, they've never suffered through a losing season, they've never had to start playing golf early while everyone else started the playoffs, yes they were the quebec nordiques before, but as far as denver is concerned, they're a new team. your hatred is fine, i'm not trying to sway you, i have the most respect for loyal fans, but dont hate them for the wrong reasons. i for example, as a red sox fan, know what suffering is about. and up until 2001, i felt the same way as a pats and bc hockey fan (they won the national title in 2001). and suffering before just makes that win oh soooo sweet.......go soxmingez said:I just absolutely despise the AV's, after having lived there for 4 years, they are the most ignorant group of fans in all the NHL.

When I lived there after the Av's were knocked out of the playoffs, the ratings for Stanley cup games drop to like zero. They aren't hockey fans, they're Av's fans
yeah, were there two more exciting players in the playoffs last season than iginla and st. louis? incredible. i was pulling for calgary though.mud4feet said:Funny how that works, isn't it? When the Wings got bumped last season, the muds enjoyed watchin' the underdog Flames make their run - real spunk in that team. And watchin' the Lightning (Hockey in Florida??) get their first Cup was exciting.
that was amazing though, i grew up in new england, and live in boston, when i saw ray bourque lift that cup over his head, i had tears in my eyes, nobody deserved that more. thats why i pulled for them that season, they had one mission, let ray lift that cup and kiss it.mingez said:And I was there when the Devils lost to the Av's in the finals, a mob started assaulting a family of Devil fans with 2 kids in a minivan. It was funny because the father dropped 4 guys in Av's jerseys. I was impressed, but most Denverians are soft.

Mingez, you'd be proud of me...I'd typically pull for the sharks though when it was between Denver and San Jose.
i played hockey in new england growing up, i was on a split season team for midgets in high school once and we had a game down in mass, well the game on the ice before us had ray's son playing. and it just so happened that as we came out of the locker room ray bourque was standing right outside our door, he patted every one of us on the arse and said go get em and good luck. quite a guy.mingez said:I met him when they retired his jersey. I was in the audience when he came down the steps, totally random. And he stopped cause I was with my cousin (young kid) to say hi. What a guy!! The game sucked though, Edmonton got worked.
I was happy he got his cup, but it should have been in Boston. Imagine if that happened? DAMN!
