From the UBC Law Alumni mailing service:

The topic of this year’s Fall Lunch is “Will a Canadian Team Ever Win the Stanley Cup Again? (The Impact of the New Collective Agreement on Parity Within the NHL).”
Date: Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Time: Doors open at 12:00 noon, lunch served at 12:30 pm sharp
Location: Four Seasons Hotel, 791 West Georgia Street, Vancouver
Cost: $60
Attire: Business Dress
RSVP: Space is limited, early booking is advised.
Assuming I can get a seat, any suggestions on questions? I'm assuming he will take them, but I'm also assuming if I get one in I'll be lucky.
Bright ideas? I think I can come up with the sarcastic fare myself (have you gotten Kevin Lowe's Christmas card yet?  ), I'm talking legitimate questions about the league... |

What's it like to have a commissioner who is afraid of you, so the players on your team can go around headhunting without fear of getting suspensions that they actually deserve?

Ask him if he feels he lucked out winning that Cup because he was handed a great team that the previous GM built for him!  |

Your question was lockout related, wasn't it?

Yeah, his appearance was toward the end of the 2003-04 season. My question had to do with why there was so much more fire and brimstone and doomsday talk compared to the strike/lockouts of 1992 and 1994, and I forget what he said, but it was unsatisfying.

| Ask him if he knows why Cloutier skipped out on us after you bought him a beer in the Granville Room. |

All right you assholes now that we all have the snide remarks out of our system...
Is there a global OTP question I should be asking? Can we actually come up with something quasi-intelligent?
Or should I just kick him in the balls.... |

Ask him when he is going to fulfill his dream of running the Maple Leafs.
