I agree completely! But it also strengthens the AHL. That could take over. Hmmm...Rochester Amerks.

don't hold your breath...ratings for the NHL suck...can you imagine what they would be for the AHL?? Further, if the NHL went belly up, remember, the AHL teams are controlled by the NHL...they would be yanked out of the secondary markets and be put in places where there are currently NHL teams...

I don't care for hockey one bit, I'm just worried that this will mean more crap like WSOP on ESPN.

Crazy... I knew it was going to happen. The only thing I hope for is that eventually they will come to a deal but I wonder how many players we are going to lose to other leagues now.

****ing money ruins everything. These owners should be happy they're in the business and the players should be happy that they have enough skills to play and both should be happy they don't have to rely on min. wage income to survive. It pisses me off when **** like this happens. Play the ****ing game and stop complaning how much each side is "suppossed" to bring in.
