Ghost of Dale Hunter said:As for Canada, the reality is that the Canadian clubs have to fall in line, they are associated with the league. The players may form their own Canadian only league, but it wont be with the Maple Leafs, Canadiens, etc(trademark NHL property)..... Right or wrong, the league sold its soul to American money 30 years ago and now they are married for better or worse.
And that sucks.
Typical American with paper bag over their head! I would love to see a Canadian League only. Get rid of the American influence in our game, as people like Bettman have ruined the game in North America. I ask, would you ask a Canadian hockey man to run the NBA. I think not, as Bettman has brought the NHL to it’s lowest level in 50 years. I say we start over, with Canadian cities only. Let the American have their NBA, NFL and MLB. As they believe that they have the big market cornered, as we should let them keep the bag on their heads. We should not be trying to sell a game to the American’s, as they do not deserve hockey. With leagues starting up in Europe and Asia, a new world league could be formed, and yes, leave the Americans out of it, as they would only try to interfere, hockey has become a dead sport in the US, so let it die. It is alive and healthy in Canada, and overseas, so we should focus on that only.
We have the resources (players), just move the teams to a market where the game can be sold, and I will tell you, this NHL-NHLPA dispute is not just about money, it is about what the Americans try to make everone believe, a free market and trade lifestyle (only in America,Ha, Ha), just look at how the Americans treat their free trade agreement with other countries. We don't have to go by US law in Canada, we have our laws here, so don't jam them down our throat. US policy, our way or the highway, what a joke. We should keep our trees and lumber, and let the Americans live in their glass houses, and keep your tomatoes. we can live on beef. Just my Beef, opinion!
