Ken Campbell with an interesting take on the recent Forbes report for team worth, and that its not doing the league any favors in their CBA dispute.

The 700 Level warmly thanks the NHL for the lockout that continues to rip at the heart of hockey fans everywhere. Warning: sarcasm meter needed.

Jeremy Roenick thinks that the lockout was necessary, but JR also thinks theres a deal on the table from the players that the owners should have taken a much greater interest in. Its a common sense approach that could do wonders for a CBA negotiation thats been lacking in them.

Former NHLPA President Trevor Linden compares the current NHL lockout to the work stoppage in 2004-05 that he played a key role in ending. Its fair to say that the two of them are under completely different circumstances, even if the outcome may be the same.

Friday was the anniversary of Joe Thornton getting traded to the San Jose Sharksa day that changed the Boston Bruins franchise for the better.

Interesting column from Roy MacGregor theorizing that the high cost of playing hockey is turning it into an elitist sport.

If theres a playerowner meeting as has been proposed by the NHL, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Marty St. Louis says he wants in on the proceedings.

For something a little different: great video of a couple of Russian youth hockey teams completely gooning it up.
