The bits and pieces post created by Gary2
If you read the HUB post re Puckdaddy, you got an ear full from 2 fans. They didn’t mince any words. The really interesting sentences were the following:
How many of you will make more money playing in Europe than you would in the NHL, even if they reduce salaries? The average career length is 5-6 years; how many of you are willing to sacrifice 17% of your career just to support a pissing match between two arrogant jerks?
I’m not sure what the salary of players is, which are not playing in the AHL via 2-way contracts, but I’d think at least a minimum of $1 million with an average of maybe $2 million. I’m sure most of us fans could just write off $2 million and not worry about it.
And yes, you’ve seen this picture before, but it is still appropriate, because the whole lockout/stalemate thing is a bunch of crap.
Retired Engineering Manager. Moved to Columbus in 2008. Started following the Blue Jackets and loved it. I wanted more hockey and started following the blogs. I found the blogs had information and ideas faster than the news media. I joined the Fire That Cannon Dec 12,2011 as a writer and on March 25,2012 I accepted the position of editor. I want to improve hockey interest in Columbus by making the blog interesting and positive so it is a integral part of the Blue Jacket Blogging groups.
