I am really frustrated about this, since hockey is my favorite sport (and there in Saint Louis, I get to choose from baseball, football and hockey). However, this may be a good thing for next season (if there is one). Maybe the greedy SOB's will be a little more humble after they go a whole season making no money. Hell, maybe we'll see some new stars out of this that are willing to play for the spirit of the game, instead of the paycheck. It'd really be nice not to have to bend over in the concession lines everytime you want a beer (about 8 bucks) so if these players get paid less, they can drop the highway robbery prices for anything you want to purchase while at the game.

Even if I did, I would be _playing_ it, not watching it! Is there anything so passive, pointless and unrewarding than _watching_ sports? Where's the plot, the meanings, the though provocation, the anything? Even if you can find redeeming qualities about Hockey, why don't you go watch local matches? Or you can watch tapes of previous seasons... not much difference! If you're all after the betting and stuff you can always use something else. Why the need for greedy overpaid sportsmen and their equally greedy and overpaid masters? I am Canadian and I care about hockey up to the sum of zero.

If Bettman hadn't made the mistake to expand to markets which don't have an adequate NHL fanbase, that would have been a great deal for almost all of the teams.
