Everything else aside, I gotta say I don't blame the players for not wanting their salaries tied to team revenues - if that was the case for me, I'd be paying my employer instead of being paid.
Regardless, with Mike - it's pretty pathetic they couldn't find a middle ground.

ESPN's television ratings in time slots normally occupied by NHL games is up 100 percent with alternative programming.
Ouch.

"All the polls are telling us the fans are supportive of what we are doing."
Obviously done by the same pollsters that said putting gay-rights ballot initiatives would rally democrats to the polls.
