The NHL didn't waste any time building its case against the NHL Players' Association.
In a class action complaint filed at a New York court Friday, the league included plenty of evidence to try and establish that the union had always intended to decertify or file a disclaimer of interest.
There were 36 players named in the statement of claim by the league -- all members of the NHLPA's executive committee and even some draft picks -- as the league went to great lengths to prove its case.
