I think this is such BS, in all the quotes they have from everyone states "IN my opinion" What can't hockey players state their opions anymore?! Gawd people are just looking to get rich fast these days it seems and THIS IS MY OPINION :) Which everyone is entitled to!

I heard on the radio today that Cheli is tickled pink about Paul Kelly getting the job and he made a point to say that it reminded him of when Goodenow was appointed. He said the circumstances that surrounded Bob's hiring are almost identical to what's going on now.

This scares me greatly. It's been well documented that when Goodenow came into office the Union became extremely militant resulting in 3 work stoppages in 13 years.

I can almost guarentee you that the union will reopen the CBA after next season and there will be another stoppage. If Kelly is anything like Goodenow he won't care about the game, the fans or the league. He'll only care about the players and getting them as much money as possible.

The reason why I think there could be a strike is that the PA knows that the league and the owners can't afford another work stoppage. They'll try to use that as leverage. If the owners don't bend, we'll be right back to where we were 3 years ago.

But if there is a strike, I hope the league uses scabs. And then they can push certain rules into the game that the PA would have been dead set against - rules like smaller goalie gear.

As much as I respect Chelios I think he's exactly what's wrong with unions and the issues that have plagued the relationship between the NHL and the PA.
