 Ga> Yeah, that's a rabbit hole full of quicksand just waiting to 
 Ga> happen. Probably even some lawsuits down in that hole.

I just saw some news that Austin Matthews has been diagnosed with it.  If that's the case I can't imagine that the Leafs are going to want to move forward.  I agree that the potential for lawsuits is going to be really high depending on how things go. 


 Ga> Haven't heard of that issue, but it doesn't surprise me. Business 
 Ga> deals between pro sports teams and television are very serious 
 Ga> business, and quite complicated. Another mess for sure.

I only saw one mention of it and that was a tweet sent out from a reporter who covers the NHL.  I need to do some research and see what else I can find out about it.  I seem to think it said that teams with a Fox Sports contract would receive no revenue next year if the season ends this year as is.  If that's the case it could be a real disaster for a lot of teams.

 Ga> If you're looking for more hockey news via BBS, I provide a feed 
 Ga> to the FidoNet NHL Hockey echo, with about 8 decent stories per 
 Ga> day that you could check out.

I follow that echo on another BBS.  Thank you so much for getting that up and running again!  I remember reading all of them when the prior maintainer was posting them and then they had to stop.  I was so happy to see the posts return and was just reading them a few minutes ago.
