Dude looks like a lady...

The Governor General of Canada figures it would be a good idea to award the Stanley Cup this year to the North American Women's champion. Please. It's a non-starter. The Cup is for professional hockey. Specifically the NHL champion. Get over it. There is no season. Get the girls their own championship trophy. Look at the WNBA and NBA as a guide if you don't understand the concept. NBA champions have their trophy. WNBA has their own trophy. Same sport. Different leagues. Different trophies. Seems almost symmetrical.

And while we are on the NHL subject. How dumb are the players? This little "show of solidarity" cost them collectively somewhere in the billion dollar range in salaries. As Mark Cuban points out, 30 teams at say an average of 35 million dollar salary level per team is $1.05 billion. You can't get that back. The only guy that got paid was Goodenow. Two minutes for delay of game while his bank account grows and everyone else's shrinks.
