The resolution to one issue leads to the opening of many more in the Kovalchuk approval, Donald Fehr waiting in the shadows to pounce when needed...Niemi signs a deal, Coyotes may have a buyer, Carey Price on Strike, how visiting in-laws could make you a millionaire, center ice up in price, and Ken Hitchcock at a really large swimsuit store...all on this edition!

Almost 90 minutes of my complaints today, as I outline what may be the unraveling of the league, but not via a lockout. Circumvention of the salary cap takes on a new form, the world hockey summit brings useless matters to the forefront, Kovalchuk is still an ass, and the amazing two-faced assclowns from the KHL and IIHF. The olympics rear their ugly head, Brian Burke goes off, and the War vs Bloggers has begun. Thanks and enjoy...

Today we analyzed the fallout from the Kovalputz rejection and how the Wales trophy predicted it. A bunch of deals get made in Canada, as a meddling parent steps in. Marc Savard's feeling are hurt, Name your own price in FLA, screwing of Pens fans from the Winter Classic to the Snack Bar, and a new Stonehenge is appearing in St. Louis. Rule changes and random hockey love round the show out...thank you!

In addition, friends, listeners, media people and hockey fans visit by phone for open lines. Thanks and enjoy

We have witnesses an extraordinary shift in thinking of the the GMs as Free Agency opens, and how there is a move to cheaper goalies, more expensive defense, and a general caution as deals are made. Today we look at the major deals made, and what to expect out of them. Additionally, we speculate on the fate of some of the remaining guys up for sale. Thanks and enjoy...

The NHL Awards and the NHL Draft occupy both spots this week. However, the weaving of trades, moves and wheeling and dealing by the GM added a unique twist to both events. Additionally, budget and salary constraints conspire to shape the upcoming Free Agent season, and also impacted moves at the draft. We discuss how the rosters are going to look after the summer and what the cost will be to make it happen...

On today's show, we wrapped what will hopefully be the last of the Olympics, and the Gold Medal game. Further, on the subject of the ramification of the game, the reach, the ratings and what it will do. Also covered, Crosby's Missing Gear, Pat Kane's crush on Will.I.Am of the Peas, how players celebrated, the trade deadline fizzle, and the Bermuda Triangle known as NBC-DirectTV-Versus. I believe the Olympics point to the bigger TV picture for the NHL. Long show today, so hope you hang out for it all. Thanks and enjoy
