from the CP,
There wasn’t a single NHL owner who left the first day of the league’s board of governors meeting in tears.
Given some of the things they heard on Monday, that was actually notable.
Two economists addressed team owners and executives at length about the state of the worldwide economy during the session, painting what deputy commissioner Bill Daly termed a “pretty dark” picture. The meeting began with an agenda that included a discussion about the salary cap but talk of the economy went on so long that it was pushed back to Tuesday’s session.
In fact, the governors hardly ended up delving into the business of hockey at all.
