Great Article Summarizing NHL/NHLPA Mess
Scott Burnside's recent espn.com article says it best (at least from my feelings...) All this mess, over a single (albeit HUGE) issue.
As many people have reported, the next step will be for the NHL to work with the labor commission to receive an impasse, and open the door for replacement players.
Both sides need to give, and that sure didn't seem to happen over the past 5 months. Such a shame for such a great game...
Update:
Even better article on cnnsi.com, that states that NHL Commish Bettman & NHLPA Rep Goodenow should resign or be fired!
