Why am I writing about Saskin?

As the NHL is pushing hard into the playoff stretch drive it is not Crosby's 200 career points, or the dynamic duo in Tampa, or even the annual false hope of a Stanley Cup from Leaf's media that is getting the headlines. Instead, it is an email tampering scandal aimed directly at the current head of the NHLPA, Ted Saskin.

After weaseling his way into power and drawing the ire of Chelios and a handful of other outspoken players, Saskin now appears to be in very hot water. The oft overlooked fact, that he essentially appointed himself to his post should be enough of a red flag for the members of the Players Association. Even if Saskin survives the latest barrage of investigation, perhaps the P.A. members should get together and give their head a shake.

There may be a reason as to why this scandal continues to drag on. There is a number of individuals that firmly believe the Saskin 'hiring' was the wrong choice and are not afraid to publicly address this issue, because of their belief in the cause. If Saskin had a thread of moral decency, maybe he would democratically hold a vote that can determine this issue; either one way or the other. I speak for the masses when I say this issue has gone on for way too long and fans are tired of hearing about it. So if the current investigation does not find any 'wrong-doings', please for the sake of the game Mr. Saskin, take the high road and address this situation. You are supposed to be in charge, so man up and stop detracting from the sport.
