Y.a.w.n.

It appears that the NHL and NHLPA are going to talk again soon. Wonder how they'll argue the numbers.

A week and a half, and . . .

What has changed?

The arena where the U.S. won gold was named after Herb Brooks.

People offered to buy the NHL.

I could have bought my car from Dave Shea.

Roller hockey got a boost.

Speculation continues . . . and continues.

Not only will I not call anything the TD Banknorth Center, but such naming has little to no consumer impact.

And no, I won't call it the [TD Banknorth] Garden, either . . . It's not The Garden, after all.
