SLAP SHOTS


As the NHL lockout approaches its first week, let’s take a look at a few observations.

1)There have been no negotiations since September 12 and none are scheduled.

2)The NHL preseason has been canceled through September 30.

3)NHL teams are laying off staff.

4)NHL staffers could have salaries cut and work weeks shortened if the strike lasts through October 1.

What about commissioner Gary Bettman? He and the owners want the players to take a cut. Will Bettman be layed off or asked to take a pay cut? This is the man who’s had 3 work stoppages on his watch.  Keep your fingers crossed that the whole season isn’t locked out again. Maybe I’ll watch peewee hockey instead.
