Adios...Goodbye...and that's not a winner
With apologies to the late great Jack Buck, who came up with that phrase during the 1985 NLCS on a three-run home-run by Jack Clark (the line actually is "Adios, goodbye and maybe that's a winner").
Well, when it comes to the National Hockey League, it's not a winner.
More like "nucleur winter".
The NHL became the first North American sports organization ever to cancel and entire season due to a labor dispute, which has been ongoing for almost six months now. It involves the infamous two words... salary cap... those same words that has caused problems in Major League Baseball 11 years ago, as well as the NBA and the NFL in previous years.
Congratulations to the NHL. You guys who runs this great organization has pretty much run this orgnaization to the ground. And that's exactly what happens when you union morons resort to money-hungering greed, which is obviously the case: put a salary cap on all of the players and keep most of the profits. All of you idiots in the union should be ashamed of yourselves! There are some very good NHL players, owners, employees, etc. who are forced to make money elsewhere... some of which has decided to play hockey in Europe.
And with the way things are going, there may not be a season in 2005-06.
Very sad. The people in Canada are obviously up in arms, and are not very happy. Hockey in Canada is like baseball in the United States: it is their national past time.
To the union... I hope you sleep well having accomplished what you have done. To me, I find it very disturbing and at the same time... very sad. I will tell you this: if and when the NHL does come back to the ice, there will be a lot of hockey fans dressed up as seats during game time... and trust me, that will pretty much put this organization out of business once and for all.
