TIDBITS of info surrounding NHL labour impasse on Monday:
QUOTABLE
“If the (NHL) continues to insist on their (demands), then it will take a full year. That’s because we are not going to cave in. Then I will spend the entire season in the KHL. It’s an absolute reality.”
— Alex Ovechkin in an interview with Sovietsky Sport.
NOTABLE
