some knucklehead will buy those stitches! hopefully the cash goes to the Wounded Warrior charity or something similar.

All proceeds to the sale of Shaw's used stitches are going to the Jimmy V Foundation for cancer research, if I'm not mistaken.

It looks like the League is going to take ownership of the Devils...

I saw this earlier today. I'm really getting tired of these teams getting bailed out by the league. If a city can't support a team then it's time to move on. I know each situation can be different and their could be legitimate circumstances that a team is struggled but with opportunities in Quebec City, Seattle and Toronto why would the league want to continue to support weak markets.

Is New Jersey that weak of a market?

I would figure it would be decent market, and it's just that they have crappy owners.

What is really disturbing is that is a newer building....From what I undertand the Devils have a favorable lease arrangement and they get other revenue because of it.....Otherwise they would be in a lot more red ink.

I don't know, but like I said their could be legitimate reasons a team struggles financially. I'm just now sure what that would be for New Jersey.

Its not a weak market.. its just a very fickle fan base & they moved the new arena to the WRONG part of NJ.
