Hockey players are stupid. They play a stupid game that only about 37 people actually care about. This stupid sport, with stupid players, stupid owners, stupid labor leaders and only a handful of fans has a major image problem. They haven't played a single stupid game in this stupid sport since last June. All of the stupid people decided to play stupid harball and go on a stupid strike that has ruined the stupid sport. Actually, that it may be ruined might be the least stupid thing to come out of this situation. Anyway, I digress...
Jeremy Roenick, one of these stupid guys, just spent the weekend at Mario Lemieux's charity golf tournament. I don't the exact question that set him off but he ripped into fans that might characterize hockey players as spoiled and told them not to come back to hockey. "...don't come. We don't want you in the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey."
Jeremy Roenick Tirade
Good one. Since you only had about 37 fans left, you might end up playing in front of exactly ZERO spectators now. That's a good way to announce the return of your sport -- pissing in the eye of the people that pay your salary. To borrow a phrase from Steven A. Smith, make no mistake about it, the NHL doesn't have a lucrative TV deal like the NBA and NFL so it derives nearly every penny it generates from gate revenues.
Jeremy Roenick, you're a complete idiot. I think you're spoiled. So go ahead, punish me by keeping me out of the rink. Just don't bitch and moan when I make more money than you next year.

I heard that quote from the Dan Patrick show. Roenick is an idiot. The last thing the NHL needs is bad publicity. Poor Jeremy Roenick, had to take a pay cut and only make 8 million dollars for skating around and attacking people with sticks. If the players are as stupid as they seem and pull those kinds of stunts on a regular basis a lot of them are going to have move to Europea and learn Swedish or find a new profession
