Well...they finally did it
It's not like we didn't see this coming. The NHL is dead, at least for now.
Here are some final thoughts...
Well boys, don't let the sound of crickets hit you on the ass on the way out...
The negotiations were the equivalent of two lemmings trying to see who could jump the furthest off the cliff...
If a league falls in a forest and no one is around to care, does it make a sound? Finally answered today... apparently not.
ESPN had a poll today. More than 60% of the participants called themselves hockey fans. When asked their reactions to the cancellation of the season... almost 50% said they couldn't care less. About 36% said they'll miss it, but find something else to do. Only 15% said they were devastated. That should scare both owners and players. When your hardcore fans tell you they'll find something else, that means they may not come back.
I've said this before, but... morons.
