    I really hope that Canada or USA meets Russia in the final at the 2010 Olympics.

    It could be like the Summit Series all over again.
  2. R Miller from Halifax, Canada writes: Competition is good, but this just looks more like 2 cartels in a senseless bidding war...

    And it will be hockey fans who again pay the price !

    What's a zillion dollars worth these days ?
  4. duc letho from Mytishi, Canada writes: What a surprise; it is diffucult to find information about the KHL:
    KONTINENTAL HOCKEY LEAGUE.

    This new league has 3 europeen teams from Belarus, Kaz, Latvia and will encompasses 24 teams in total. The intent is clearly to compete against the NHL. I think that hockey and hockey fan will benefit this situation.

    Let us wait and see at least it wll force the NHL to be a little bit more creative. See you in Mytishi with Emery.
    GO Atlant, Go

    Kindest regards

  6. J Sparrow from Canada writes: Well now, isn't it interesting that the president of the Continental League, Alexander Medvedev, who just happens to also be the deputy director of Gazprom, has a brother who once was the chair of Gazprom, and just happens to go by the name of ...Dmitry! Hey, wait a minute, that name sounds strangely familiar ...lemme think, ...Oh ya, I know now ...Dmitry Medvedev, ...isn't he the newly appointed, err, I mean, newly elected president of Russia ...buddy-buddy to a one Vladimir Putin ...ya, ...that's it!

    Wow, what a small world we live in ...particularly if one lives in Russia, ...it's no wonder none of the elite Russian players want to go back there -
