If that's the PA's idea of leverage, they are screwed.
LOL, I'll say they're screwed. Just what fans want to see is another freaking 12-10 All-Star game.
Here's a plan for them. Take a look at the state of this country. Try and input into their thick skulls that the more money they make...the higher ticket prices will go. The higher the prices, the smaller the gate and the less money the owners take in. These guys think that the NHL is like the NBA, NFL, MLB....guess what boneheads? It is NOT. You have the worst TV contract by far and I mean by really, really far. IMOP, most of these guys are way overpaid already and one more work stoppage just might be the death notice for this league.
Here's a wake up call....be happy for you got.
You get greedy....you may end up needy.
