Bantering Points: Realignment, Brandon Dubinsky, World Junior Championship

Sweden beat russia for the gold*

Here goes the NHL brass trashing the players union!! What a surprise! NOT
Speaking as a long time union man, it would be nice if the NHL suits would realize that they’d be swamping out McDonalds if it weren’t for the players! They should be thanking the players for their jobs as “executives”.
The players ARE the NHL. They are not vassals, they are not pawns, they are not slaves and they are not here to help the NHL suits increase their own salaries and perks.. They are empolyees, whose opinions are of the utmost importance, since the fans come to see them, the players, not Bettman., the “executive”.
It’s unfortunate that whenever a worker earns a good living in this country, no matter what the do for a living, there are always people standing in line to tell us why they don’t deserve it, and lots of worthless suits waiting to pounce on “public opinion” to satisfy those complainers,while lining their own pockets. Ah, but when “public opinion” complains about the ridiculous salaries and perks that these bloodsuckers earn, they suddenly are deaf to the complaints!
We all, as decent hard working people should be behind the players demands. At least they do something for their money!
