Just to remind you what you will be missing if the NHL owners lock out the players on September 15, 2012. The past two Stanley Cup Finals were some of the best hockey that I have watched in a very long time - the game of hockey has never been more popular and I think that a work stoppage might cut into those gains that have been made. The NHL owners made a record 3.3 billion dollars in profit last season.
That being said that most of us understand not all is equal and not all teams enjoy these same profits - but it's the owners that have signed these players to these exuberant salaries and I hold them culpable for the mess that we are in. I hope everyone has a great and safe Labor Day holiday.
Got my annual must read "The Hockey News Yearbook".202 awesome pages. Top 50 players in the NHL list and not one owner made the cut.
