(For those who care that is.....)
Word around these parts is that a deal will be announced in the coming days that will bring hockey back for the coming season.
Now let's drop the f***ing puck.

Actually, he is still quite active in the Leafs' organization.Wendy quit playing a couple of years ago and has retired to his cottage with his boyfriend
And the rumors of his homosexuality were rampant in the early-90's, but from what I understand have been debunked.
The guy was awesome to watch play though.
the Exec committee is meeting today in NY, the rumor is they are going over the new deal....
Anything ever come of the partial centralized ownership proposal? As I understood it, some conglomerate wanted to buy the 16 underperforming teams and opperate them centrally ala MLS to avoid a slew of wasted managment costs which would free up the "lost revenue" numbers that weigh down GM's figures. I didn't think it had a shot back in the Spring but a full year without hockey probablly changes the players minds on the concept just a bit.
no.
owners shot it down without a second thought....truthfully the only team it really would have benefitted would have been Pittsburgh.

Who I think they should axe rather than move to KC, along with the Panthers and perhaps Thrashers...my two cents.
I agree.
KC and Atlanta already had shots at a franchise years ago. Give Winnipeg another shot, and maybe a team in Saskatchewan or out east in Halifax. Canadians would support a new franchise in a snap. Fact is, hockey isn't and never will be that big in the southern states.
With the bringing in of a salary cap, it shouldn't be too difficult for franchises to restabilize in Canada outside of the 'big two'. I found an old magazine of mine....the Faceoff Season Preview for 2000, and interestingly, it said that the next step in expansion for the NHL would be into Europe, which would most likely be able to be accomplished by merging with some European leagues to create a super-league. They also talked to the former creator of the original WHA who talked about how his vision would have had expansion in such a way that the WHA would have been divided into two conferences...North America and Europe.
KC couldn't hold an IHL franchise very well, and the Penguins will remain in Pittsburgh namely because the city council has blown their wad, and can't defend their position on the Penguins getting a new arena now that both the Steelers and Pirates have new homes.

Please PLEASE give me a sports alternative to the NBA.
You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.
(Shoo-bee doo-wah)
European league would be interesting, but I can't see it lasting that long. Might last a few years longer than the XFL. I have enough trouble saying up to catch games on the west coast, now I'll have to leave work early to catch the Leaf games in Europe.
