hmmmm...just on the off chance that this is for real...
i stick by my punch strachan comment.
seriously, my feeling is that this is a situation that had to come. i am so happy that the nhl called the nhlpa's bulff. no more gunship diplomacy. as a diehard lifelong flames fan, it breaks my heart because we are close. very very close. however, this isn't about this year or next season, and i think most fans get this.
One thing i heard Pat Laforge say was that the Oilers, over the life of the last CBA, paid approximately 75% of revenues to their players. in the last year however, it was $1.48 for every dollar of revenue. i knew it was bad...but not that bad. that is horrific.
are you able to share similar number for the flames?
thank you.
ps i also stand by my doh!biggen comments.
