i really hope so
the owners arent siding with bettman as much as before

No, and I hope that when there is new CBA in the summer, that Bettman will be fired. This isn't because I think he is controlling the owners, it's because I think that everything in hockey he has touched has more or less failed and that there should be a new President, or the NHL and NHLPA pay for a real Commisioner (Bettman's services were only paid for by the owner's and therefore is only the President because he does not have the best interest of the game at heart.

No

No, and actually, I wouldn't want them to. If by some miracle they do (and that's about a .01% chance), whoever would win the cup wouldn't really deserve it.

Not to start shit here, but, are you saying that the New York Rangers don't deserve the cup they won in 1994? That was a shortened season. Assuming there is a season this year, lets say your team won the cup. Would you truly still say they didn't deserve it or would you celebrate like everyone else?

Sure I'd celebrate it if my team won, but the win would be bittersweet, as they would only play half the games of the season. It's just not the same, and I would say they didn't deserve it as much as all the other teams on the cup did.

Nuh uh.
