Day 98 - The Mayan Prophecy

As of this writing the world hasn't ended, but hockey may have, for at least this season and probably the next. Games have been canceled through the 14th of January. Even with a ridiculously short schedule, that leaves us with just under fifty games, a schedule that would essentially be the same length as the postseason that would follow. This March Madness buffer really offers no solace. This season has been nothing but office meetings with no results. It's like hockey is run by a college administration, hopefully not a FBS school, because that would leave us without a playoff. The Stanley Cup winner would go to the highest voted team, which would probably be Boston College.

I'll get my archaeological friends to look into the Mayan tablets to see if there was anything that points to the melting of the polar ice caps, which would either mean some kind of Nostradamus layering of hockey being canceled, or the polar ice caps would begin melting and North Carolina would finally get some snow. Either way, it's bad.

I do want a season and I'm not against a de facto home-and-home series amongst all the teams; I just want everything to be done right. Do right by your fans. Please.
