Who cares !!

But who knows....
I do.Quote:

That said, he did admit it will be interesting if someone does openly step up in opposition. Will anyone bring support? In the final board meeting prior to cancellation of the 2004-05 NHL season, Tanenbaum [Toronto owner] made a passionate speech arguing for the season to be saved. He was shouted down, a response led by Kings owner Philip Anschutz who, according to Forbes, is the league's wealthiest.
It would be nice if AEG hadn't announced the sale, it makes Tim look like a lame duck in the governors meetings.
