Stick A Fork In It

So, finally, the NHL cancelled the 2004-2005 season. It's not that big of a surprise and, quite frankly, it's about freakin' time. While I generally agree with the owner's side of things, with the players earning way more than what they should relative to how much the league makes, it's Gary Bettman's fault that the NHL is in the sad state it is in, what with all the expansion and moving of clubs to places like Miami, Phoenix, Nashville, Raleigh, etc. Gary Bettman is the scum of the earth and as long as he's running the show, I'm hoping the the NHL will crumble to pieces because of this so something better can come about. Ideally, my fantasy outcome is that the NHL comes back playing next September, but popularity would have fallen so far in places like the ones mentioned above, that about 6 teams fold, and two more move back to Canada. Gary Bettman is the devil, and we must stop him!
