Aaron, nothing was answered in your analysis above. only more questions until full financials are shown. just because the profitability of the arena management company went down doesn't mean that they weren't less profitable combined. in fact, if they moved the staff to the other company, then they would have been more profitable during the lockout without the drain from the team based on the Forbes estimate.
Because they're not the ones who mismanaged the franchises they play/have played for. They also didn't lock themselves out. The owners and Bettman are the ones solely to blame for the actual implementation of the lockout. However, the NHLPA is the side that can be blamed for the continuation of the lockout. The owners have to "win" or the NHL will be vastly different from what it has been in recent years, if the NHL is to survive at all. I believe the NHLPA doesn't realize the reality of the NHL, from financial success to popularity. Although, the lack of financial success isn't the NHLPA's fault. To me, it's not as easy as picking a side. This isn't a game. This isn't like the Kings versus the mighty sucks. One group is to blame for the actual lockout, and the other group is to blame for the continuation of the lockout.Quote:

Hostess Brands Inc. will start selling off the rights to Twinkies, Ding Dongs and other baked brands after a federal bankruptcy judge on Wednesday approved its plan for an "orderly wind-down."
The company will also start shrinking its employee head count to 3,200 workers from 18,500, the 82-year-old pastry maker said. Judge Robert Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York gave Hostess the go-ahead to start fielding bidders for its assets, the company said.
Unions SUCK....
Well, it is a game in the sense that the players are playing it like it's a game and not taking it seriously.Quote:

So now every time they lose a battle in the corner and get knocked on their ass, they cry (aka post retarted BS on twitter) to the refs (us) like it's gonna make a difference.
I actually agree with you here. They are going to have to "go down in the series" or else the NHL doesn't exist much longer. Well, it might, but it'll be way different from what we're used to. Like I said, the NHLPA needs to understand the reality of the situation the NHL is in. I have no problem blaming the NHLPA, although I really think it's Fehr who should get the blame, but blame them for the correct reason(s).Quote:
