I can't wait until EA sports NHL for Xbox gets released next year. I've never been so excited to play as Shawn Horcoff, will score more PR goals than anyone to win the CBA trophy by using my patented move of standing beside an angry looking Crosby !! Shoot me now.

If they do they should make a throwback version with a mix of the top teams in the past 50 years.

I think this is a cheesy move/remark by Bettman.

How about the players meet along with the owners after they DI-certify Mr. Bettman?

You should go read Rhett Warrener's comments on decertifying.

He's all for it... has no idea what it means, but count him in!!

YES! If they go back 50 years, we will have 1 or 2 years where Leafs teams would qualify!!

Id much rather have teams like the 79 habs, 85 oilers, 93 pens ect... than the current generation of bums

Show me where he says he doesn't care if he loses money on this project.

His ego won't allow it.
- Scoob

he could less, literally could care less

just do a quick google search. he said he is not interested in owning the sabres to make money. if he wanted to make money he would just go drill another oil well. he bought the sabres because he loves hockey. the guy is worth 4 billion from his main business. trust me hockey is just a side project for him.

hmm I always though Oprah was worth more than 4 billion.

The Islanders dynasty teams also... or the Bruins of the early 70's, even the Broad Street Bullies!!

The lockout will end when the players figure ou tlosing paycheck after paycheck is worse than playing on the owners terms. The end.

in a buffalo news article in 2011 it said oprah was worth 3billion.

does any current player remind you of pavel bure?

I think mid January is the drop dead date. They can still fit in 48 games.

This is the key to it all. Until there is a threat of no season whatsoever, nothing will get done. Stubbornness and misplaced pride will rule until then.

Big Pun.

Wait no, he's not a player he just crushes a lot.

Kris Versteeg but only when he played for the Leafs.

The owners should just have a meeting without wienerhead Jacobs, then we'd see some progress

Not as much as Kadri.......

why? whats wrong with doing a good deed and not expecting something in return? the guy flew in all the players whoeve played for the sabres and held a tribute for them then built a statue commenmorating the french connection. i can give other examples. im sorry if you disagree but ask any sabres fan on here what they think of their teams owner, i bet everyone of them would say he is the owner we have been wanting for some 30 years.
- joshs

Oh, I agree he's a breath of fresh air up there. I just don't agree that money is a non-issue.

Get rid of that slob Jacobs, he's the real problem.
- OLDSCHOOL#6

THIS. When the majority of owners would rather be playing and this jackwheel is telling other owners to shut up-- Tells you all you need to know. He's pissed because, his club is in the top 6 grossing clubs yet mid pack in earnings. He feels he should be killing it. We are going to lose the season. Mark my words. All you need to know about this lockout was spelled out in the Weber offer sheet.
