All for one and one for all is all fine and good when everyone is in the same country but with the top tier heading overseas and the younger players earning a crust in the AHL, they are left swinging in the wind. Once the lower tier player starts to hear the wife in his ear because she can't buy that expensive handbag, things will change. - UKflames Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:00:32 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4924-september-24-2012#comment-22680 Your three paragraphs on the lower-paid players & the owners are exactly inline with my own thoughts. In fact, I think you've summarized it better than I have (in my thoughts on the forums, to this point). Nice summary. I, too, wonder if the impact on the lower-paid players will have any effect on the NHLPA. It is a very unfortunate situation for that tier of players. - Pengwin7 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 09:35:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4924-september-24-2012#comment-22679 Players here in Quebec already started that. Bruno Gervais and Maxime Talbot started "La tournée des joueurs", they will go around small town charging 20$ and giving the money to local charity. I know M-A Fleury, Mathieu Darche and Brian Gionta should play too. - Billy_the_Phil Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:43:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4924-september-24-2012#comment-22677 A guy at my morning hockey game had a good idea. The players should do a small town charity game tour. There are lots of players not going to Europe. Would really keep the fans on their side. Not sure what insurance implications would be. - hawkdog Mon, 24 Sep 2012 06:05:35 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/other-features-mainmenu-89/archived-ramblings/4924-september-24-2012#comment-22675 The NHL has to be seen to be keeping everyone on the same page, they cannot have owners who are used to getting their own way, shooting their mouths off (telling the truth) and providing more ammunition for the players to not look to deal. Whether the Red wings ever pay the fine, I don't know if there is anyway to find out, this may just be press. - UKflames Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:23:53 +0100
