FACT: the owner who lost $2 million/year must be Jerry Buss, not Bruce McNall.
 
FACT: Jerry Buss bought the Kings, along with the Lakers and the Forum, from
      Jack Kent Cooke in 1979, right after the draft of Magic Johnson. I
      don't know how much the Kings cost within that package. I bet he
      made some hefty profits for holding on that properties for 7 years
      before unloading it to McNall.

In other words, Jerry Buss might have lost $2 million/year on the Kings.
He might also have:

1) earned profits on renting his own Forum to the Kings 
2) earned profits on concessions/parking of the Forum in Kings game
3) earned profits for having the Kings on his own Prime Ticket network;
   without the Kings, he might not have charged $X/subscriber to southern 
   California and Hawaii cable operators.  You need live sports to fill 
   the hours.
4) made hefty capital gains for selling the Kings to Bruce McNall

Before you examine the books on Southern California Sports, the corporation
under which the Lakers/Kings/the MISL Lazers/Team Tennis/Forum/Prime Ticket
operate, you have no evidence that Jerry Buss lost money for owning the 
Kings.

Just looking at the books of the Kings is NOT enough.

That's a superficial perspective of "the owner lost $2 million".

It's just like: I lose money in my mortgage interest of my house. Never
mind I live in the house and save the rent, never mind the appreciation 
of the house. The loss is the only thing that I'll show you. I need 
your sympathy.

The American/Canadian way of earning wages: the salary you command
is based on how much your employer values your service, i.e. how much
profit you can get him. So what if it's 20 times of an average citizen's
salary? The average citizen's salary has no place in this picture.

As long as McNall feels Gretzky can make him $10 million, Gretzky deserves
his $3 million, wouldn't you say?

The only *garbage* that took place was the officiating. The regular
season was filled with wonderful hockey, including a great series
between Wisconsin and Minnesota in February in Madison. Why change
officiating styles for the championship games? Because the idiots
in marketing decide: "we'll show the rest of the country a *nice* brand
of hockey". Again the game is taken from the players and the fans and
put in the hands of people trying to tailor the game to *their* needs.
Why not just showcase the event and let the players and officials do 
the things they have been doing all during the regular season.

Oh puhlease! Your use of phrases like "blatant disregard", "authority",
"sanctity", "not be tolerated", and "conduct yourself at the highest
levels at all times" is exactly the type of police mentality bullshit
that these NCAA holier than thou morons are doling out. Hockey is a
game, a tough game where you're held accountable for your actions by
your fellow players. Do something cheap and prepare to pay, maybe not
this period or this game but count on a measure of repayment. The
players with guts and honor know who they are and they respect each
other. In short, players have seen alot of hockey and know the game,
what they need is someone to call offsides and icing, they can police
themselves. The ref called a piss-poor game and the Wisconsin players
held him accountable. A few nasty words, a brandished stick maybe even
a punch-a player takes all this and more during the course of a long
season. But accounts are balanced and its all forgotten next season.
But don't touch that ref! Don't call him a name! We'll legislate your
team right out of town. The hypocrisy is stunning and par for the
course for the refs and "suits" who want the lead role in every play.
Flames welcome.

The NHL owners brewed up a new offer to the players last night, a
take-it-or-leave-it deal with everything prior to this swept off of
the table.  Deadline was Thursday at 3 PM, with games to restart on
Sunday night.  The NHLPA responded with, "No!"

According to WFAN, the new owners' offer would let the players keep
rights to their likenesses on hockey cards.  No mention of uniforms
and logos on their person ("Okay, I'll trade you two Coffey in Jean
Paul Gauthier for one Messier in Armani!" (-;), for one thing.

Right now, it looks really grim.  A shame, after one of the best NHL
seasons in a long, long while ...

My own opinion: the negotiations were reasonable until some hardcore
owners put the trading cards issue on the table.  Then all hell broke
loose, the players did a substantial retreat, but it looks like some
owners wanted confrontation.  Period.  Shame. )-;

I don't think so. I saw these sets going for $20 about two weeks ago
and they are now down to between $13 and $15. I've seen the boxes 
of the low#'s for $28 and the hi#'s for $26 (This was yesterday).
The hi# boxes are not taking off IMO because of the non-inclusion
of a new Hockey Hero and an SP card. And there isn't much special
in the hi #'s except the Lidstrom, Bure and Falloon cards. UD doesn't seem
to be going very well.
If you want a good hockey card investment get the Score Pinnacle series!
Beautiful cards and they will be hot!!!!!(These just came out here on Friday
and there are plenty of hot cards in the set).

Coach Conny Evensson nominated these players for a training camp

and 13th. These games are of course played as preparations for the WC.
There are no less than 6 rookies in this Team Sweden.

Players from Djurgarden and Malmo are not nominated for known reasons.
Conny will present a more definite Team Sweden on April 15th including
players from MIF and DIF.

 * denotes rookies in Team Sweden.

My comments: I'm glad to see that Conny picked Peter Forsberg and Lasse 
Hurtig. Peter deserves a chance to prove what he can do and Lasse has
been ignored way too long considering his point scoring capacity in Elitserien.
However, I also think that Peter Larsson, (F) (Brynas) would have deserved
a chance.

Players from MIF and DIF that I think Conny will pick:
Kenneth Kennholt (D), Daniel Rydmark (F), Peter Andersson (D),
Tommy Soderstrom (G), Mikael Johansson (F), Peter Sundstrom (F).
I also have fears that he will pick Charles Berglund (F) and Arto 
Blomsten (D).

If  the owners want replacement players then they better hope some 
'replacement' fans will support them.  I've kept quiet through this whole thing 
but I am going to speak up now.  Not only the players, owners, and fans being 
hurt but waht about the 'little' people who rely on hockey to support 
themselves and their families.  The revenue lost from the strike hits a lot 
deeper than the pockets of the owners and the players.  Just my two cents 
worth.

This is an obvious need for realignment in the league.  Mr. Ziegler must
be notified of the dire necessity of maintaining fan interest in the
league.  With San Jose having outsold any other NHL competitor in
official jerseys, it could be fatalistic and the league could ill-afford
San Jose to miss next year's play-offs.    

I say let's petition and get San Jose, Ottawa, and Tampa Bay into the
Adams Division - now we have 3 serious Stanley Cup contenders. ;)
