A pox on the NHL league office. A group of incompetents who have allowed an exciting game to become a endless sequence of clutch and grab.

A pox on the NHL owners. A group of spendthrifts whose inability to keep their wallets zipped has demolished the economic viability of their own teams.

A pox on the NHL players. A group of foolish athletes who didn’t realize their salary demands were driving teams to bankruptcy.

A pox on them all. A foolish trinity who saw a cliff looming ahead and insisted on driving off the cliff to spite each other.
