The NHL will NOT play afterall. We knew that before. Then we didn't. Now we do again. Maybe. TSN-'It's not good' and Slam-'No Movement' and ESPN-'No Deal'.
My position on this whole business is firm. The owners bit off more than they could chew by giving huge contracts out when they couldn't afford them. That was dumb. But the fact remains, NHL players are receiving over 70% of NHL revenues. That's a higher percentage than the other major sports. The players have been spoiled. The owners are simply asking the players to make a comparable percentage as other major sport athletes. No more. No less. The problem is that for the past 10 years, the teams have always caved to the players...the players have every reason to believe they'll cave again.
Only this time they won't.
