Does Al Strachan not realize that the point of revenue sharing is that not every market in the NHL has 8 million rabid hockey fans? Or does he just think that the leafs should get to build a powerhouse by default because they have the income to do so?
I couldn't find his email address, but here's an analogy I'd love to send him. Alberta has been blessed with a ton of oil and natural gas. Easterners rightly want a share of the revenues from these resources because, hey, we're all a part of Canda, and it's pretty much luck of the draw that Alberta has all the oil. Ok, fair enough.
In the NHL, Toronto has been blessed with a huge market of hockey fans, and other cities in the NHL want a share of the revenue from those resources. Hey, we're all teams in the NHL, and not every market is lucky enough to have that sort of fanbase.
You decide, Al. Revenue sharing, or Alberta seperates from Canada and names itself the Kingdom of Ralphonia? The power is in YOUR hands!
