I don't know about any league St Rudy is talking about. Any details? (I'll search later)

Outside pressure is always a good thing. If not, what the heck, lets start over. . . I am sick of baseball already; and, how games have the Piston's got left in them?

I agree! This is very good news. I don't care if the NHL resume or if it's the IHL. In the end though... Bettman does. If he's got any brain cells he'll be paying attention and bargaining hard.

I believe it's a credible threat... Rudy and Strong could do it.

I'm not sure Bettman has any brain cells left. He and Goodenow have been operating on pure Ego for some time.

How many people will actually pay to watch it? Not many.

It'll come and go just as many other silly schemes have. No damage to hockey.
