I don't know how many hockey fans there are here in Kosack Land ... in other words, I'm guessing this won't make the top-10 diaries list!
Nonetheless, here it goes. It is speculated today that the NHL tomorrow will cancel what would have been left of it's 04-05 season.
In my opinion, the owners created the mess that is now the NHL ... however, they are the only ones who seem to not be in denial (re: the market of hockey lovers is awfully awfully small) and seeking an arrangement that addresses reality.
Dan Wetzle summarizes it all better than I can. If you love hockey, please take a moment to read. Thanks.
