thing. dagnabit.
uh, garf? dagnabbit has two "b"s. My grampa told me so. I still think this deal will turn out to be pretty damned good down the road for the vast majority of players. Higher minimums, younger free agency and better pensions are all pieces that serve the rank-and-file of the union, not the upper-echelon stars who don't need the protection of the NHLPA. And a salary cap was coming, no matter what. Did a season need to be thrown under a bus? Probably not, but the guys who had their hands on that lost season pitching it into the road were the owners, not Goodenow.
