My message:
I is unbelieveable that you were incapable of resolving the situation with the NHL. As usual, the union management was playing "mine is bigger than yours" instead of doing what is best for the players and the league. Are you so blind that you cannot see the damage you have created? All for what? Your egos?
Let me show how easy it would be to resolve the cap issue. There was a 6 million dollar difference in the cap numbers. Obviously, it is extremely difficult to compromise on this by saying, for example, $6M divided by 2 = $3M and add that to the lowest number. No, that would be too <gasp> easy. It obviously must be a hell of a lot more complicated to settle on a number between the two.
You get what you deserve. Unfortunately, union management does not care, because with or without the season, you still get your union dues.
Shameful.
Too bad they do not have the F You smilie.
