Magus Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The players just don't get it, they don't play in the NFL where even the weakest teams are successful. I don't know what CBC and ESPN pay for their hockey packages, but come on they can't even be a quarter of the billions that the NFL gets from ABC, CBS, FOX and ESPN. The players need to go backward a couple steps to move the game forward plain and simple. The players rode an artificial wave of revenue increases based soley off of expansion fees. Unless the NHL wants to keep adding franchises there is not a lot of money out there to the teams to spend. the cardinals, lions, bengals are some of the weakest teams and no where near competitive even with the advent of the salary cap.

That's from poor management, not lack of funds. The system for being competitive is in place. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
