Comments on: RIP NHL // 1916-2005 http://onthewingsblog.com/2005/02/17/rip-nhl-1916-2005/ by true Citizens of Hockeytown Sat, 06 Sep 2008 16:31:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Matt Saler http://onthewingsblog.com/2005/02/17/rip-nhl-1916-2005/#comment-22 Matt Saler Fri, 18 Feb 2005 06:08:00 +0000 http://onthewingsblog.com/?p=770#comment-22 I agree about contraction, obviously. It's too bad Bettman's the only guy who doesn't see it. Or if he does, he refuses to see it as a viable option. We can wish for contraction all we want but it'll never happen. They will force the League to work some other way, even if it means killing it and resurrecting an "NHL2." If we could get other leagues on TV here, this wouldn't be so bad. I want to get a satellite and get Sportsnet or TSN or something so I can see SEL, RSL and Major Junior games. I guess I'll be able to catch some Griffins games while I'm here in GR for the semester. They're last in the conferene, though. Yay. I agree about contraction, obviously. It’s too bad Bettman’s the only guy who doesn’t see it. Or if he does, he refuses to see it as a viable option.

REALLY? I'm devastated, but what's been done has been done...It's too bad the fans have to suffer more than anyone else.
