Brace yourself for another bloody cage match between players and owners now that Paul Kelly has been fired as executive director of the NHL Players' Association. The shift in power was just a warning. Danger lies ahead, and there's no telling how much carnage will be left behind.
Recent history has shown the dysfunctional union is way over its head when it comes to making decisions that require common sense. They don't call a repairman when their refrigerator breaks down. Their nature is blowing up the house, cleaning up the debris and hoping the one they buy with the new home works better.
It's with that in mind that Kelly, an intelligent man who appeared to be making as much progress as possible given his time in office, was abruptly jettisoned Monday morning during union meetings in Chicago. It was surprising, certainly, but to say it was a total shock coming from the NHLPA would be ignoring years of incompetence.
