I woke up the other morning (not something I like to do often), to the sounds of Morning Edition on the local NPR station here in Charlotte, NC. They were talking about the various scandals that are rocking the sports world, except for hockey. They even acknowledge the now squeaky clean image hockey has at [...]

The general accusation of the moment, the group think that seems to have flooded the hockey blogs and MSM right now is that the CBA doesn’t work, mainly because 1) previously high spending teams got high priced free agents, and 2) the salary cap is set so high. If you are one of those people [...] July 2nd, 2007
