Poll question: Should the NHL fuck off now?
Like come on, you take 30 years deciding on wether or not you're gonna cancel the season, then you do. Then you say, "Oh wait, maybe we won't."

THis smacks of a publicity stunt.
Either that or the WHA scared em.

1. How are they going to have a season starting in march?
I guess they could just start having the playoff games right away?

3. I find all this bullshit completely maddening
They can all fuck off. To pretend like they are doing me and other NHL fans a *favour* by keeping the talks alive is the most condescending shit I've heard in a long while. I stopped caring a while ago and quite frankly, it will be a long time before I get into NHL hockey again, season or not. Fuck 'em.

4. I remember the days when there were
only 6 (I think) teams in the NHL. Those days, they played for sport and not so much money ..

I have very fond memories of Saturday night's "hockey night in Canada"

:(

5. I can't wait for the NHL to go under and a new hockey league to replace it
BTW, I actually worked for the NHL in the late '90s, and I can tell you that the NHL executives had about as much respect for the office employees as they do for the fans.
