I've got to step in and say it, all this talk ablout only Americans making dumb comments is ridiculous.
That being said, we still don't really know the actual happenings in the meetings, and honestly, we probably never really will know, just like we don't officially know exactly what Tannenbaum said to the other owners, heck, he could have said "I make more money than most of you combined." and then proceeded to rub his arse on all of their faces. We'll never really know.
It's nice to see both sides have rifts though, in fact, it's beyond nice, it's fantastic. Screw replacements, I want the real NHL, and the real players.
