MLN FAB50 Hockey 2005

The MLN FAB50™ By NHL Club
The Best of the Best for 2004-2005

The FAB50 is like a cold storage in 2004-2005: So many players are bottled up here, waiting for the NHL and the NHLPA (Player's Association) to resolve salary issues. While the lakes in Canada are hard as rocks, Hell hasn't frozen over yet, so the strike will likely continue, and these players will wait until the NHL breaks the impasse in the 2005-2006 season by opening its doors to qualified players who will likely be willing to play with the salary caps.
