So, it's been awhile. Sorry, I've been knee deep in wedding planning, and working, and now it's the holidays and I'm just trying to stay sane. Do you know what would help me stay sane?
Hockey.
Yes, I said it. Hockey. Hard hitting, aggressive, goal scoring hockey... but nooooooooo! There seems to be a lock out. Yes, in my time of need.... a lock out. And, since we had to get our honeymoon planned now and out of the way, our original plans have been ruined by this lock out.
What does hockey and a lock out have to do with your honeymoon, you ask.
Everything. We had planned on going to Canada to see the Yotes play the Canucks. We were super excited to see an away game, and in Canada! But since we weren't sure if there would be hockey in February, and we would have to get our passports like now, it just didn't work out. Bummer. But we've decided to go to Denver, which is like the micro brew capital of the world! So that's almost as exciting.
Now to this lock out. Why does this have to happen? Why can no one ever come to an agreement about money and bonuses and everything else? Because it's not hurting the players or the owners. They still have millions of dollars and just want more. (And yes, hockey players are the most under paid athletes and hockey is practically the most brutal, body killing sport out there) But.... you still make millions more than I do, and I just want to go to a game. I just want to enjoy a beer after work and watch it on TV.
You're hurting the fans. The people who spend their hard earned money to see you guys play and get your millions of dollars because we support you. So this lockout.... in the long run, you lose fans, you lose support, you lose more money. You want 5 million dollar contract, plus a percentage of the team's whatever.... well, what about the people who make less than 30,000 dollars a year who just want to see you guys play? What about our money?
Do we not have a say in this, as fans? As the people who ultimately make sure you have a pay check?
Stop dicking around, and start pucking around.
