Hockey sucks.
The owners suck.
The players suck.
Suck. Suck. Suck.
They are hiring PR firms to gauge how their “positions” are being received by fans. They think that if they win the fans, they will win the war. How stupid is that? Fans are the big losers. No hockey. No playoffs. No Stanley Cup. Why? The equivalent of a game of chicken between two high school kids with fast cars.
Neither side will give in. Both sides believe that maintaining their bargaining position is more important than the game itself. Both sides are willing to have the game tank rather than to give in. At this point, they would deserve a scenario where the NHL goes belly-up and floats to the top of the tank.
NEWS FLASH! The NHL doesn’t get any coverage on ESPN and it rarely merits mention in the ESPN News Channel. If the sports networks hardly bother to report the happenings, who cares in the larger society?
WHA— World Hockey Association. Let’s start a new league. It was done before. New cities, different stadiums. Players working for about what they are making in some of the European nations. Let the Red Wings and all the rest dissolve. I mean, we’d be doing them a favor, wouldn’t we? The owners have been claiming that they are losing tons of money. By starting a new league, we would save them all of those losses! Plus, the players would have a new-found appreciation for the game.
Wait. It’s not Hockey that sucks. It’s NHL Hockey.
