The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 I think it's time to close the book on Bettman's term as commissioner. What was the old setup pre-Commish? Wasn't it like a triumvirate of Ziegler, Bill Wirtz, and another guy? There was some triumvirate. I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARTYEWR 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 If the Cup is canceled this year, it'll mean that there really is a Red Sox curse: both of the last 2 times the Red Sox have won the World Series the Cup was canceled the following season. Needless to say, I hope the Red Sox never ever win another World Series. Go Yankees! That's the funniest thing I've read in a while. Congratulations to you.

"blah blah blah no" I'm a Rags fan, and I wouldn't even touch that with a 60-mile pole. Nobody wants to spend $300, $200 or even $50 on a shitty game.

DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 Here's something interesting from TSN if the NHL does decide to use replacement players The first challenge for the league will be following pre-existing labour laws. In the U.S. and in Canada, labour laws do not allow businesses to use replacement workers from other countries. The league's six Canadian teams must use Canadian players, while American teams must use players from the U.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 My first reaction to Bettman is that he's delusional if he thinks all of the teams would've spent exactly the cap. Anyone who watches any of the small market teams knows they're not gonna spend anywhere near that. Hahahaha, the Penguins with a payroll of $49 million. That's comedy.
