Yeah Kris, and how many players wouldn't have NHL jobs at all without the Floridas and the Nashville's, and the Tampa's?!
I swear, this is another example where the players really look stupid in this thing.
The fact that most of these guys barely have a high school diploma is more obvious all the time.
What would you suggest Kris? That if the owners decided to correct their 'mistake' by eliminating these teams from the league, the players union would be happy losing all of those jobs? Apparently Draper thinks that if an NHL job doesn't pay multiple millions of dollars per season then it isn't worth having.
I guess I should give Draper the benefit of the doubt on the education thing. Maybe Lemieux did some brain damage when he boarded him into the bench face first.
I don't care if I ever see some of these idiots play again. I just wish there was decent minor league or college hockey in my area to catch an occasional live game. And playing is a lot more fun than watching anyway. I just feel bad for fans that love the game and don't have that option.
"Doan wasn't the only player putting the blame on Bettman. Detroit Red Winigs forward Kris Draper spoke out against the commissioner after Tuesday's WorldStars practise in Toronto.
Draper insisted the players should not be on the hook to repair the damage done by Bettman and the owners.
''Bettman's plan was expansion,'' Draper told the Toronto Sun.''He brought in the Floridas and the Nashvillesof the world and now he wants the players to fix it.
''Well I don't think it's right he wants us to fix it.''
