Why does the PA even want to go? It's only for a select group of the membership, plus it's not like they get paid or the PA gets any revenue out of it.
Sure the PA came out and said how disapointed they are that the NHL decided not to go this year, but it's really just the PA taking a shot at the NHL in the public relations battle. What does the PA have to gain in going to the Olympics?
