Alright, this is a direct quote from off of Sportsnet.ca's Jim Kelley's Backhand Column. It can be seen here

and I personally find this piec eof news ot be EXTREMELY interesting. Looks like, in time, a poopload of trouble could be coming the way of the NHLPA. I've said it before, and I will say it again - something is crooked with Mr. Saskin, and not all the dirt in the world can cover it up forever.
Now, on to the quotation...
The Buzz: The ongoing battle between NHLPA executive Ted Saskin and dissident members is really never going to amount to anything, especially since Saskin has won every court battle so far.
The BACKHAND: Right and Alan Eagleson's Order of Canada made him untouchable, too. Look, yours truly has a copy of the resolution passed by 19 reps (and two sleepy Floyds) during the 30-team conference call and it's a killer. If Saskin can't get this overturned in court or reversed by the members themselves, lawyer Sheila Block has the power to turn the NHLPA record office into Ozzfest. Block has been given the power to interview former execs Bob Goodenow and Ian Pulver under oath about how they came to be dismissed and at what cost, as well as how Saskin came to be hired and at what price point, and whether or not the executive committee was given proper information regards the salary structure for union bosses. The resolution is a black and white paper bomb. The shock waves it will create will rock the union and be felt all the way into the league's NYC digs.
