2012 NHL Offseason Thread: ROCK OUT WITH YOUR LOCKOUT

**Wulfgang** · 2012-10-11 23:23

This is the worst lockout ever. So fucking pointless. My NFL team lost 48-3 last week. I feel like I'm a recent widower walking around in a ratty bathrobe and yelling at kids to get off my lawn.

Hahahaha, that's fucking awesome! I wonder how he'll survive off his 13,000,000 AHL dollars the past 2 seasons? Poor Wade.

Him and Cheechoo were the 2 biggest slides from the mid-2000's All-stars to "Do they even have skates anymore?" status.

So I'm on the fence on what my "treat yo self" jersey to make me feel better for 2 minutes about things ending with my girl should be: Teemu Selanne, Pavel Bure, Scott Neidermeyer, or Ray Bourque?

I've also grown interested in owning the following jerseys for various reasons:

Ugly yellow Boston Bruins late 90's Pooh Bear Jerseys

Old Portland Pirates jersey with the pirate and bandana with this logo:

Any Dan Bylsma jersey from his playing days.

But those are all pipe dream super rare to find both in my size + in my price range. I also am still struggling to find a site I feel comfortable buying from as I refuse to buy shit on Ebay for more than $20ish incase its a ripoff/hoax/fake/never sent to me/etc. Did see a Jeremy Roenick Phoenix Coyotes jersey on Ebay today for only $30 but it was XL or 2XL... way too big for me, even when factoring in hockey jerseys are supposed to be a little big.

In an ideal world, you'll find that Pooh Bear Bruins jersey in your price range, in your size, with Ray Bourque's name on the back and C on the front

Boston sports fans are pretty dumb, but I'm not sure they're dumb enough to have bought that monstrosity at full $200 price in large quantities (and then hang onto it for years).

**Sepukku** · 2012-10-12 00:20

There's 2 pretty fucking sick Portland Pirates modern edition (their current logo, not that old logo from late 90s/early 2000s) jerseys from the 2004-2005 season on Ebay right now... Getzlaf Portland Pirates Black and Ryan Portland Pirates White. Almost pulled the trigger on the Ryan one, it was smaller and he may one day end up on the Penguins (although a lot less likely with Neal locked up now and cap lowering) and he's American and he isn't SUCKING ASS MORE AND MORE EVERY FREAKING YEAR like Getzlaf.

But again its fucking ebay. So no thx.

**Vaspinne** · 2012-10-12 01:00

Getzlaf is like Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Where as Beast dies if all the petals fall from his flower, Getzlaf loses hockey skill for every hair that falls off his head.

And I know the story of Beauty and the Beast because of Kingdom Hearts. Not because I watched the movie as a kid with my female cousins

You can never go wrong with a Selanne jersey

There's a signed CCM Jets Selanne jersey hanging behind the ticket prize booth at an arcade. Thinking of going MI on it.

LOL WELCOME TO MY WORLD

**Keisuke88** · 2012-10-12 09:02

Lockout has gone on long enough. Instead of my TV being on hockey 24/7 on opening night, im forced to watch Baseball instead which is not an equal substitute! If this goes on any further ill be sinking to a new low of watching Basketball.

**Aksannyi** · 2012-10-12 11:35

Yeah this is getting pretty dire, I thought they'd have this sorted out by now, fucking stubborn pieces of shit.

Last time this happened I was ready to forgive and forget because I think they'd learned their lesson. This time, I'm pretty angry about the damn thing. How many times are they going to be able to lock their players out and keep their fans? People will get fed up.

I just miss hockey.

**BadKarma** · 2012-10-12 13:30
