In response to N31 in the previous thread, I hear you re: the NHL. Go read David Shoalts article on Bettman in today's Globe and Mail. He has empowered himself and is backed by the power brokers of the league, Jacobs, Snider, Ilitch and Wirtz. Moderates like Molson have no say. Like you, I am a Habs fan, but I am getting tired of the money battles and power struggles between the likes of Bettman and Fehr, egos that know no bounds. I am close to the point of no return regarding watching NHL hockey. I wonder how many long time fans are beginning to feel like I do.
It wasn't so much what Barke had to say, just how Bettman has set himself up as king with the backing of the power brokers of the NHL. The players cannot win any battle with the hardliners. The NHL will just wait them out.
