NHL Labor Talks Reach Another Stand-Still
What the hell is the NHL doing? The players union has caved 99% of the way, and still there is no deal in place. Major League Baseball took 10 years to recover from their work stoppage, but I don't think NHL ever will. People in America live for baseball, not many people in America live for hockey, and those that do don't have an incredible amount of passion for the NHL.

The NHL had itself solidified as the number four sport in America, but now it's somewhere behind slamball, arena football, and monopoly. The NHL is going to lose an entire season and virtually nobody cares.
