PuckUpdate .: The Hockey Blog
Great Coaches

Truthfully, I've been kind of bummed about the lack of quality hockey information lately. There's really been no news.
I can't really care about a corporate restructuring of the Ducks if I might never see them play again, you know?
Seeing this video, though. This brought a smile to my sad little heart.
Because the big thing that's been forgotten by both the NHLPA and the NHL is that hockey is fun. It's not about rules and regulations and contracts. It's about joy.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go cry the rest of this post out.
Good day.

PuckUpdate Solves the Lockout (part 19 of 783 in an occasional series)

What would happen if all the players just started playing without a contract? What if they just started playing each other? Don't you think someone would set up cameras to record that? And don't you think advertisers would say 'Hey! Let's buy some ads here on these improvised hockey games!' And don't you think some people would see the ads and say 'Hey! There's money to be made here! I'm buying a team!' And don't you think the players would say 'Thanks for buying us! Can we get paid?' And don't you think the owners would say 'Why not? That makes sense.'
Bam. Lockout over.
