I have no desire to promote a strategy that incurs a loss of income. The NHL is already in big enough trouble, with roughly 40% of the league incurring a loss this season. This idiotic theory that Bettman's failed experiments will become profitable is just not backed by the facts. It is a pipe dream. He is not telling the truth. Jimmy has nearly a dozen teams losing money that he can make a "double market value" offer to and get the team.The_Icemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887740772649135851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-52303879374131662892009-05-21T02:50:52.415-07:002009-05-21T02:50:52.415-07:00How does this idea sound for getting the League to...How does this idea sound for getting the League to put a third team in Southern Ontario? Get the real fans - not the suits who show up halfway through period one and leave halfway through the third period - but the people who watch it on TV, to promise to boycott the sponsors until the league comes to its senses. They'll watch the games and carefully note the products they are supposed to buy and then either not buy them or buy those of the competitors. TV is where the real dough in Canadian hockey is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
