NHL agrees to deal

[pornrex]

I was born in Boston (big hockey town) and grew up in Toronto (another big hockey town) and to be quite honest, I don't care about NHL anymore. It would take years (if ever) to get me to come back.

I much rather prefer NFL, NBA, and MLB all in that order. These three leagues have their houses in order and realize you can't abused the fan base - case closed.

ummm Have you MET, MLB?

Yankees 205mil team salary, to many work stopages (we won't even talk about '94 (I believe it was) )) roid monsters, nowthe incredible shrinking players, interleague play, the TOO, unblanced schedule, etc...

If I wasn't a life long Indians fan, I wouldn't bother with them at all.

As for hockey.. we used to have 2 teams here, they both left. No one cared. We now have a minor league team... no one cares. It may move... no one cares. Sad to say.

Baseball learned their lesson back in 1994 and they simply can't afford anymore stupid strikes or lockouts. I don't think you'll see them ever strike again. As far as the Yankees are concerned that is a totally different topic altogether. Has their massive payroll got them a massive win-loss ratio? No it has not. That's the beauty of MLB: You can still watch a good game and you can still see things that just aren't supposed to be, by natural order of selection.

With the NHL lockout, the league lost ALL credibility especially with the players, I don't care what anyone says really.
They ruined the league and the owners not only got what they wanted but its the OWNERS that will repair it after they broke it.
When I read about losers like Roenick, and Chelios piping up and blaming Betman for all that is wrong with the league, it makes me laugh. What fools, what idiots.
