Kings beat Ducks in London opener - Los Angeles Kings got the better of the Anaheim Ducks with a 4-1 win before 17,551 O2 Arena fans in the first NHL regular season game ever in Europe. There was a 15-minute delay due to a lighting failure.

Good Luck to Lombardi and the Kings - I think Bernier is going to be a surprise. Deano is going to build this team into a winner.

Jordon tootoo/Scottie Upshall - Will these guys crack the lineup?

today's meeting between the league and the players holds a good deal of
promise. it's being reported on one local radio station (one that requires a
huge grain of salt to also be taken with their information) that the players
union is coming to the table willing to work with the league on many of the
issues involved. the players prefer a luxury tax and revenue sharing while the
owners seem set on a salary cap. i think this can be solved easily enough if
they approach it with the goal of an equitable, long term solution that keeps
profits coming to the owners and employment opportunities for players.
i'm hoping we hear some good news out of all of this later today.

Hmm... they met for 4 hours and went home :-(

No mention if they meet again tomorrow so it doesn't sound rosy.

Meeting Tuesday, many players shocked by the 24% salary rollback. The NHLPA
appears to be willing to meet half way, but I don't know the fine print. Who
knows, it may be just PR and a way to make the owners look bad if they don't
accept. Hopefully January 2005 we'll be watching the Kings!

good morning, tank. for the next three years, we're going to reduce your pay 8
% per year. why? because we aren't making enough money. we have no plan in
place to imcrease how much money we bring in so we just decided to keep doing
business as usual and cut your pay by roughly one-fourth over the next three
years. btw, it has nothing to do with your job performance. see you around the
water cooler, friend, and thanks for your loyalty to the job.

sincerely,

your boss

i'm not a labor guy by any stretch of the imagination, but i can't imagine any
player willing to accept this kind of a deal. it's backwards thinking. the way
to solve a HUGE part of the problem is - and this kind of thinking will really
surprise a lot of league types - TO TRY AND INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THE
TEAMS AND THE LEAGUE BRING IN. until they start thinking about how to increase
revenue and expand the fan base, this league has no future and doesn't deserve
to keep operating.
