Yeah, obvious not that you've finally admitted it.  Or have you?  Dressed it all up in ribbons and bows, seasoned, cured, smoked, who knows.

No, MLSE wants to make tonnes and tonnes of $$$, Scrooge McDuck $$$, bottomless, the goose that laid the golden egg, and with suckers like Leafs Nation types, done deal.

Without the salary cap, Your Leafs would be perennially in contention, they could, as NYY or RSox do, outspend others.  Always, always and forever in contention.  But instead, they'd rather have the $$$.

Bottom line beats winning.

Now, if you cannot get that into your head, then just forget it.  You're 1 of the don't-knows who don't know.

Go cheer for your team, cuz that's all you're about anyway.  You certainly do not care about the state of the game.  All yer posts are just about yer team, supporting yer team, that's the extent of what you care about.

Hockey deserves better.
