The Worst Run Business Around

If you owned a Hummer dealership, what kind of people would you focus on? Well obviously not environmentalists. Environmentalists have no interest in owning a gas-guzzling vehicle like a Hummer. So if you own the NHL, were are you going to put your teams? You put them where the most profit it is right? NOOOO!!!! You put them in the southern states where no one cares about hockey, or when given the chance to move to Canada, you ignore it and move the team somewhere else. This is the situation in the NHL right now. The Nashville Predators are up for sale as they have one of the most miserable fan bases in the NHL (they only sold 15,000 tickets for a whole WEEK's worth of games when they were at the top of the NHL). Jim Basillie, the owner of the company that created the Blackberry electronic gizmo thing, was going to buy the team, he even sold season tickets to the Hamilton Predators, when today the owner of the Preds told the NHL to not consider Basillie as a possible buyer because he didnt want the team to go to Hamilton. Yet at the NHL Draft tonight he had people from Kansas City there with him as his personal guests. He obviously doesn't want to send a team where the market is, he seems to like losing money.
Now some more depressing news, yesterday the GM of the Boston Bruins was appointed to the top 3rd spot in the NHL head office, the same man that drove the once great Bruins into the ground single handedly. He is only there because he is the personal friend of the Chief Commisioner of the NHL, Gary Bettman. So now the NHL is run by three Americans who don't know shit about hockey, or about marketing, or about anything of this sacred Canadian pastime.

Quack!!!!

So, the DUCKS WON THE CUP!!! And the game proved the Senators to be what we always said they were- chokers. Ducks won 6-2, and finished the series 4-1. So now we can all laugh at Jo, and Kathleen's brother Joel, and all other Sens fans. The most degrading part I thought was when the Sens scored on their own net. Probably the highlight of the night.
