re truly a sad day for hockey mom writes i fear that within the next decade or so the only professional sports team left in pittsburgh will be the steelers perish the thought but you know you may be right at least as far as major league professional sports teams go they all seem to be becoming big money games much more so than at any previous time to think that if i am ever able to move back home several years from now all that may be there is an ahl team at best sigh the interesting thing is that the nhl is also expanding at the same time as it is dramatically increasing the amount of money needed to operate a team this would seem to indicate that there s a big shake out about to occur in the next few years unless player salaries can somehow be brought under control frankly i don t see how the nhl s current drive for expansion is supportable under its current operating conditions if revenue sharing and a salary cap don t come into the nhl soon look out steve
