A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
D-Day For The NHL

I expected a long lockout in the National Hockey League, with the ultimate resolution being a deal sometime in January resulting in the implementation of a hard salary cap on terms more flexible than initially proposed by the league. An annual cap of $45 million or 57 percent of revenue, whichever is more, seems like a reasonable solution to me.

That kind of agreement will likely eventually happen, but January has passed and it's clear that for purposes of salvaging even a very short 2005 season, negotiations are now down to the final days, if not the final hours. Over the last few days, it finally dawned on me that there really might be no hockey this year. As bad as they have been over the last seven seasons, I actually miss the Rangers. Since then I've been anxiously checking Canadian websites like TSN.

For the few who still care, let's hope for good news.
