Speaking last week to the New York Times, Maple Leaf Tie Domi hinted at toppling the current NHLPA and league administration. The Quizno's spokesman doesn't like the way Player's boss Bob Goodenow or NHL commish Gary Bettman have handled the current lock-out situation. But unlike the average TSN talking head, Domers went so far as to suggest that the two administrators be replaced. (This is a better alternative to replacing players, although Mr. Domi could have been replaced three seasons ago.) Here is what the large-headed tough guy said:

"Target="new">Vince Carter’s resurgence and this weekends’ NBA All-star game.

One of the true misfortunes of living in our great city is our reliance on the National Hockey League as our sporting lifeline. Day-in, day-out we Torontonians are faced with countless hours of lockout coverage with every union meeting given more press than a Presidential Address.

Not to be left out of our collective goodwill, athletes across the world have rushed help with aid to the tsunami-devastated regions of southern Asia. Following the lead of many tennis and soccer stars, the “Biggest Private Donation Ever” was submitted by F1 champion Michael Schumacher during a German telethon Tuesday evening. The Ferrari driver has pledged US$10 million to his country’s world-leading effort.

There was a fair share of drama in the sporting world yesterday:

With the NHL lockout dragging on, its players have been adopted as the starving students of the sporting world. Gentlemen, you can put down the Kraft Dinner, relief is on its way. Bob Goodenow and the Player’s Association have announced plans to help their members’ stuff their pockets back inside their pants. 730 locked out players will be receiving compensation in the amount of $10,000 for the months of November and December, with additional payments in the $5,000 - $10,000 range for subsequent months. Although the lockout pay will be appreciated, a year’s salary will only amount to $65,000 or so, and this isn’t the CFL. What kind of player can realistically live on that kind of money these days? Wade Belak? With the Holiday Season just around the corner, it’s lucky these guys have millions banked away.
