It's pretty pathetic, in my opinion, that a bunch of billionaires want a larger chunk of money from a bunch of millionaires, who all have their salaries paid by people that will in all likely-hood never see a million dollars in their lifetime. And for what? Now you're going to lose an entire season and nobody is going to make any money. And this was after years of increased fan-fare and ticket sales that you're going to screw things up like this? Really? And you mean to tell me we couldn't have started talking about this at the beginning of the off-season instead of waiting until one friggin' week before the CBA expired? And then, top it all off, in the little letter to the fans that NHL.com wrote up, they didn't even allow replies to the post. Just shows you that they're not going to own up to it. They don't respect the fans and they don't want the criticism. Oh sure, they'll thank the best fans on the planet after they win the Cup, but hey, screw us if it's not convenient for them to earn less than 2.4million on average per player. Absolutely ridiculous, sick and pathetic.
