The season is over. The NHL needs a major overhaul so if it takes missing a season to get it done so be it.

What about the non-hockey-fan taxpayers who voted to fund arenas with the understanding that NHL-quality hockey teams would play there?

Yup. Now we can schedule more Zig Ziglar motivational days at Nationwide.

The players union just doesn't get it. Goodenow should be tossed after these guys lose a full season of pay.

How about the original six plus Columbus? We suck but still make money and average 98% attendance.

I posted this opinion earlier, so I ask for your forbearance.

Bill Daly, in an eight page memo describing the owner's positions on the players proposal, said at one point, "The luxury tax system demonstrates the union's "continuing objective to avoid at all costs placing meaningful restraints on a Club's ability to spend excessively on player salaries";"

In other words, "We can't help ourselves!!! We have to spend ourselves out of existence!!!! Please, please, please, SAVE US FROM OUR CHECKBOOKS (or chequebooks if you wish)!!!!!!

How pathetic is this? PATHETIC, PATHETIC, PATHETIC!!!!!

My opinion hasn't changed over the last 8 hours.

The players have to realize that there WILL be a salary cap. They can bitch and moan all they want. The sooner they accept reality, the sooner they will start drawing a salary again. The owners will not budge on this. In the end, the game and the fans will be winners.

Of course there's the North American Hockey League, where my favorite team happens to be the Billings Bulls.

Re: Columbus Blue Jackets.....

You won't suck for very much longer. You've got great young players there.
