ESPN website talks about a McMahon hockey league

[Pennyroyal_Tea (admin)]

Bill Simmons's "Page 2" column at the ESPN website discusses the NHL lockout, and includes this paragraph: "I was outraged with the new fighting rules. Not only will anyone who instigates a fight in the final five minutes of a game receive a game misconduct and automatic one-game suspension, the length of the suspension doubles for each additional incident. Basically, they're imploring us to turn the channel with five minutes left if either team is up by three goals. The NHL has turned on the bat signal -- we need Vince. It's almost like they're openly taunting Vince McMahon to start the XHL at this point. I know I've written this a million times, but if the XHL goes head-to-head against the NHL on Tuesday nights … well, which league would you watch? I know where I would be.
