St. Louis Blues are for sale!

Thanks to the NHL lockout, the Lauries have decided to put the St. Louis Blues team up for sale! Gee, I wonder why! Could it be that there was NO ticket sales last year because the OWNERS lockout the players! And the PLAYERS and OWNERS could not stop fighting long enough to site down and have a reasonable conversation. Neither side would give an inch on their contract proposals and here it is nearly summer and they still have not gotten anything done! I wonder how many other team owners will follow the Lauries in selling their teams. It makes me sad to see this happen to my favorite ice sport :(
On the heals of this news the company that currently owns the naming rights to the "Home of the St. Louis Blues", is withdrawing from the naming agreement! So that means IF the Blues find a new owner and IF they keep the team in St. Louis, they will be playing in a arena with a different name!
More on this can be found if you do a little searching at Stltoday.com search for an article titled "Lauries to sell Blues, Savvis lease."
