Jets news:

All is quiet on the Jets front.

CBA news:

Minneapolis Star-Tribune: Lockout threat casts shadow. The league is having unparalleled success but the threat of a lockout is not good for business.

Montreal Gazette: Bettman is neighbourhood bully in NHL talks. No punches pulled in this piece. Is Bettman a bully in your opinion?

Edmonton Sun: NHL lockout makes absolutely no sense. When you see the contracts getting handed out to guys who get 40-50 points, it makes you wonder what the players who regularly scored 100+ think of all this nonsense.

The Province: 15 Stages of NHL Lockout Preparation: Day 2 – “Pray”. Something tells me that we are going to need more than 15 days.

NHL news:

USA Today: Ownerless Coyotes show signs of staying power. Perhaps just before the playoffs each season the NHL will parade out a new ownership group to get the Yotes revved up before the post season.

Globe and Mail: PQ referendum threat won’t help Quebec City’s NHL dreams. Mixing politics with hockey. Great idea.

Illegal Curve Hockey Show replay:

Part 1: Zach Bogosian out for a minimum three months after wrist surgery. CBA Negotiations (Owners table a new offer to players, new method of defining hockey related revenue). Off-season winners and losers, Central Division.

Part 2: Off-season winners and losers Northwest Division. Off-season winners and losers Pacific Division. Interview with Bruce Dowbiggin of the Globe & Mail. Rapid Fire, Cheers & Jeers.

re: Jack Todd in the Gazette

i got generally no problems with folks getting mega rich from the production/purchase/sale/trade of inanimate commodities like, say, wheat, potash, timber, iron, milk, peanuts, candies that melt in your mouth and not in your hand, rubber, fish and so on.

the difference in hockey is that resource that owners are using to get rich are people, namely exceptionally talented (and some moderately talented) hockey players. the relationship here should be less exploitative and based in partnership. these owners and players – no matter how they may sometimes hate each other – actually need each other.

hockey players, like soylent green, are people!…People!!
