Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I understand when you're out with your family or eating the players should be off limits. We should have some respect. And we Vancouvrites are generally pretty good at that. I remember an interview with Linden saying how we are pretty respectful.
But, otherwise I think it's fair game. You're a professional athlete in the public eye. What do you expect? I mean you're living the dream of countless Canadians/boys/men. I don't think you can just expect to be like anyone else. You're not. You're someone special. And I think you have to deal with that.
And yes, after 5-10-15 years of this it probably becomes a pain in the ass. But, that doesn't matter. You should still be just as jolly as you were in your first year. I mean when it comes down to it, without fans they wouldn't have a job.
I'm not saying they owe us anything, i'm just saying that they should understand that this comes with the job.
I go and get autographs from hockey players all the time (working on a Team Canada 2010 jersey right now), and it's not that simple unfortunately. I've found that a lot of guys won't sign because autograph dealers have ruined it for fans. These losers (and there are a LOT of them) harass the players at the hotel, the arena, the airport...All to make a buck. Now imagine that happening in 29 other cities, and for 82 games a year. I try to distinguish myself from them but sometimes they'll only sign for a handful of people and boom that's it...I mean, why sign for people when they're just trying to make a buck off you, especially when you can do a signing and make that money yourself? Other times, these guys are dead tired, or maybe had a shitty game the night before and just aren't in the mood. I'm sure most of you, even those who work with the public have come into work on the odd day with a sour attitude once in a while. These guys are human

"When a player aged 35 or older signs a multi-year contract, his average salary is counted against the team's salary cap during every year of the contract, even if the player retires before the contract is up."
"When a player aged 35 or older signs a multi-year contract, his average salary is counted against the team's salary cap during every year of the contract, even if the player retires before the contract is up."
His contract was signed in the 07/08 season, which he would have been 34 years old so the cap hit for next season doesn't count.
Also, I notice Brad Watson is reffing. He called the terribly reffed 3rd game of our series. I hope that this game is not as poorly called as that game.
