Interesting about the Neonz. Next time I get in that back corner in the basement I'll have to take a look. I don't remember them smelling that bad though… maybe that's why no one sits near me on the bus?
The cap changed a lot of things. Lots of teams can offer the same amount of money. The result is the player can play in a city that he can walk a block from the rink and be just another face in the crowd. The money spends the same but the anonymity is priceless.
