I haven't checked all facts about the conflict, but a quick reaction was that I agree with NHL. The players demand such rediculous amounts of money, and NHL's ideas would make NHL a lot more interesting, and tighter. But then it hit me that NHL might not have such noble intentions. I don't really know how the economic circus of NHL works, but is there a chance that NHL is doing this to make more money themselves? If the cost of the tickets will be the same, then NHL will definitely make more money. Does anyone know if NHL had a suggestion of lowering the cost of the tickets as well? I want to know who I support... probably none of them. Anyway, the conflict is total now, so the swedish NHL players will play in Elitserien.
