Gary Bettman Sucks

In case you didn’t think another labour unrest is coming check out this article about the NHL Salary Cap rising by $6.4M. This converts into each team being able to spend up to $56.7M with a MINIMUM of $40.7 million. As a quick reminder, before the lock out the average team payroll was $44M and only 9 teams had a payroll larger than: $40.7 million!

Does anyone remember the players talking about a hard cap at $44M? I bet the NHL Owners are wishing they had that and a year of revenues back… so much money… so little brains!

Mr. Suck Please Retire

Trade rumour time is coming to a close and one big defense man has just come off the market. Rob Blake is going to be staying in LA. He and management had talks and he wants to stay and help rebuild the team. Once you get paid 7 mil and have won a cup it makes sense to stay were you love!

Has anyone heard more about the Mr. Suck rumour that he is going to be fired? The lastest I have heard/read into is that all the GM want the instegator rule gone but Mr. Suck still thinks it will ruin hockey in the US. [Has he noticed the popularity of UFC. This could be the point where the GMs dump him, they got their salary cap, maybe it is time to start from scratch with a new Commish! That would be my vote!
