of apathy? 4 Responses to So what 'they' are suggesting is that the court can be manipulated? The picture painted by the National Post is a little more than "likely" I'm sorry to say. However, the NHL & Glendales' "Victory at any Cost" has left them in an untenable position as follows; 1) A money pit for the 2009-10 season with extremely embarrassing optics all round; 2) A city council whose obstinance in not accepting the inevitable & grabbing what they could while the gettin was good costing everyone dearly, with no "Plan B" contemplated; 3) The US Justice Department, Bankruptcy Trustee's Offices', likely the FBI (antitrust & collusion) & the CCB (ditto) sniffing around. In overplaying its' hand while underestimating the litigous resolve of Jim Balsillie, the NHL has opened Pandoras' Box and set the stage in a fight for its very existence. Stay tuned. Hey Steve, I enjoy your comments, but I respectfully disagree. The judge will make a ruling in favour of JB, and write his ruling to be strong enough to weather the appeal process the arrogant lawyer for the NHL has suggested.....the highest court in the land, my eye!
