And lastly and most importantly, we don’t need absolutely everything that the NHL does be solely and exclusively for money and hopefully they can actually divert just 1% of their attention and time and care to actually making the game good. Better reffing, not managing outcomes for maximum entertainment and more money.
So when I see this all I think is damn, that sucks.

Well this is what the fans demanded when they supported the owners lockout for a salary cap.
The nhl insisted it was a partnership.
They now have a moral & ethical obligation to handle their side of the partnership which is to grow revenues so their partners can continue to grow their salaries.
That’s what they promised when they cancelled the season on the fans.
So here we are.
