Post I made a long time ago
After the last Stanley Cup, I wrote . . .
"Wacky wacky way out prediction:
Tonight was the last game ever of the NHL in its current incarnation. After a 2+ year work stoppage, the league will be disbanded. All contracts will be voided. Two rival leagues will spring up. Owners of NHL teams will keep the rights to the team names, some but not all of which will be used in the new leagues. Litigation will ensue over who has the right to the NHL's premiere asset, the Stanley Cup itself. Eventually the leagues will consolidate and form a new super league, with the 2 leagues going to a MLB-format with limited interleague play. This new league will re-capture the name NHL, and a new golden (jet) age will be upon us."
I'm tellin ya, it's gonna happen.
