The NHL Non-Thread

Looks like we wont see (Canadians) hockey soon or maybe its part of the strategy to wait until the last day next week, because, make a 30 games schedule would be ridiculous. It was so funny to see last night one side saying that both parties were close to a deal and the other the contrary. The players are more divided than ever after that frustrating day where the owners took away their offer, and now its all looking ridiculous to witness the battle of millionaires  on numbers.

Does anybody care about the NHL?

I have not kept up on it since the first few cancelations and have missed going to a few Hurricanes games this year, even though I am a Penguins fan.  Just when the NHL seemed to be getting some popularity, they have screwed it up again!

I will do a sport trip in New York and there was supposed to be an NHL game. CURSE YOU GARY BETTEMAN !!!

Betteman have done some bad decisions by giving teams to some new markets in the south of US and now it tries to fix things with owners that can't seems to control themselves when comes to time to give long contracts to players, but what is curious is the fact that only a minority of owners can give the power to the NHL to get in a lock out and i presume that it's the owner that don't make money who gave their vote on a lock out. Hockey is suffering from a lack of interest in some markets in the US and now that owners have spend their money irrationally, they want to have back their money from the players, and i understand the players to refuse to give all they have.

I believe, like last time, the suicide rate in Canada is up 77%, with alcohol consumption up at least 9000 fold

It looks as though we are going to have hockey boys and girls.  The owners and players have reached an agreement.
