The negative externalities from the lack of hockey have begun to dig deep into the foamy pockets of beer distributors, namely Molson who has decided to seek damages from the NHL if hockey doesn't return anytime soon. This leads me to think that every industry who has come to depend on revenue in some form from hockey should just form a class action lawsuit and sue the Gary Bettman and all of the owners, setting an awesome precedent for any time an industry gets devastated.
If Molson is able to sue the National Hockey League, then the following entities should be allowed to sue as well:
Every bar and grill or restaurant whose winter revenues come from mostly from hockey. This would give us the opportunity to see Bennigan's make a huge comeback. I miss the Turkey O'Toole.
The kids in third world countries who have come to depend on apparel from the playoff losers and really wanted the 2013 version of the San Jose Sharks Western Champions shirts.
The water companies that keep us hydrated after drinking Molson, like Deer Park and Bud Light.
The doctors and nurses who have come to depend on revenue from people who concuss each other during and after games and can never remember if they've paid their bill, so they pay it again anyway.
Every construction company in a major city. If Vancouver doesn't have hockey, where are they going to come up with the funds to rebuild their city after hockey?
I applaud Molson for having the gall and lucidity to stand up to the NHL and say no more. People need hockey and beer in their lives. Godspeed, sirs.
