New forum game in memory of our hopefully falling brethren in Arizona!
Ugliest jersey, worn in actual competetive (ie, no pre-season) games.
If a team other than PHX "wins", they can stay.

In before Gorton's Fisherman jersey (which I actually like)

would be up there for me but the winner has to be:

Thats only because I can't find proof the Blues actually wore that abortion of a jersey with like 8 trumpets on it.

To be fair, it's not Bettman's fault entirely. He is the mouthpiece for the owners, and what they owners want has to be what he says they want. Unfortunately for the owners, they are the ones who have to make the concessions here, not the players. If the players are willing to move on a few financial issues as well as some rule and policy changes, the owners have to concede the rest of the bargaining for what the players want. Everything I hear suggests that the players aren't being overly demanding and think that the current CBA is fine the way it is with a few changes here and there, the owners basically want to do exactly what they did in the last CBA negotiations and overhaul everything.
It's obvious to me that the owners don't care about the players or the fans, which is the thing that pisses me off. And if they raise ticket prices again you can bet your ass I will start boycotting the league entirely.
Speaking of Shane Doan (six posts ago lol) if he signs by September 15th as he stated today, that means he is almost certainly leaving Phoenix. At this point the NHL won't be finishing a deal with Jamison prior to hammering out the CBA which is going to shape the future of that franchise with revenue sharing. Doan wants ownership in place to sign so theoretically it seems like he will be leaving.
Until he skips that deadline like he did the one in July and August.
Speaking of the Yotes, figured I'd go to Biz Journal to see if there has been any news at all on the Jamison bid. Well, the news is bad. You know that fun sales tax that Glendale wants to impose to pay for the lease agreement, the one that is reviled by most business owners in the city? Well the appeals court today ruled it should be a ballot measure in November and now Glendale will have to consider the petitions to see if the group has enough signatures to put it there which they did if enough are valid (they had over 4700 signatures at last count and needed only 1800 or so to get on the ballot). If sigs are valid and it hits the ballot, goodbye deal that funds the stupid arena lease agreement.

Would anyone here that happens to play NHL 13 on Xbox be interested in a GM Connected league?

You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.
Those horrible alternates was banned by Mike Keenan when he was coaching/GM the Blues...Doing that and getting Pronger here was the only good things he did for this town...That was just a bad generation of jerseys in general. Though I do own a home jersey from that generation :/...

Rennadrel, you make very valid points but this will potentially be the 3rd lockout during Betmann's tenure. He's the common denominator in this situation. I think he deserves the large majority of the blame. This league is so close to being right...The last lockout turned out to be a good thing in the long run but this time it may very well ruin the sport. I'm definitely sided with the players on this one.

Also, conscript have you seen the old senators jerseys? The ugly ass ones with the red, black, and white horizontal stripes with the big "O" in the middle. Those hurt my eyes... I think it was during the original 6 era.
the Kings have struggled a bit with the fugly sweaters
I wouldn't mind the old purple, or even the Raiders-Gretzky look
the crown jerseys are fine but the coat of arms look is pretty lame
the Mighty Ducks had some pretty awful looks back when they were Disney owned and the Canucks are unparalleled at looking horrible
edit - oh yea and the Boston ManBearPigs was pretty crappy too

They're meeting again today and I imagine the NHL will have a new offer ready sometime this week. In any case, I've been saying it for a while, but expect to miss at least a few weeks, if not a couple months :x

At least NHL 13 comes out soonish.
Glendale is taking the sales tax measure to the Arizona Supreme Court as expected. The NHL and Glendale extended the current arena deal to the end of September an reportedly Glendale is now considering their options if the sales tax measure and therefore the Jamison ownership bid falls through.

The new marketing slogan for the Columbus Blue Jackets is #DefendNWA no not the rap group, Northwest Arena. Wasn't that completely obvious to you? Oh ya, no, no it isn't. Phoenix advertises the players on the opposing team (http://coyotes.nhl.com/club/news.htm...id=DL|PHX|home is their advertising for the single game tickets. Hilarious. Coyotes is mentioned like two times), Columbus advertises their arena. Bad organizations are bad.

I wonder if NHL 13 will have a commissioner mode where your goal is to have as many lockouts possible before getting fired.

Also the #DefendNWA is just terrible. I googled NWA and after 17 pages, I gave up and never found a single reference to the arena.

Look out folks. There might not be a lockout after all! NHLPA is expected to make their counterproposal/response tomorrow.Neither Fehr or Bettman would comment on the proposal in detail, but the NHL commissioner did say that there was "significant and meaningful movement" on the league's side involving core economic issues. He also noted that the sides are "not far apart on revenue sharing."
