Yes NHL players figure for the most part that they need to get PAID as it would be and see that it could and should be on a comparative level with other pro sports. Untill they start getting the TV revenues for a season or 2 that the NBA NFL and MLB get it is not going to happen any time soon and honestly I love hockey and think of all sports hockey players have the toughest game to play and the most physically demanding with very high risks. BUT and this is a big BUT here they allready make more than the average city in most countries as a colective team and that is just ridiculous. A very good friend of mine grew up with Joe Thorton amd went out with him last summer to pick up hhis new truck./ He traded in his old Navigator for a new one and paid the almost 60K difference with his debit card. They then felt like going fishing and went to Kitchener and Joe bought a new boat cash 130K for that then he was about to hook it up to said new Navigator and the salesman told he he couldn't pull it with the new truck he needed a better vehicle to bull his new 28 foot boat home with. So off they went to TO and he picked up a new Hummer H2 again paying cash for this they get back to get the boat and head for home and fishing. Think about how far all that money would have gone if he say donated it to a charity or some other thing that cvould benefit his community silly if you ask me and if they are that foolish with the money and feel thay need more then maybe they need to get some help managing the money so the millions of dollars they make a year would last them longer than a few years when they are done playing.
