The NHL lockout doesn't look likely to end anytime soon and we finally know why -- the lawyers don't know how to subtract.
↵I have consulted my six-year-old cousin, who can confirm that 10 minus three is seven. She also agreed that 30 minus 23 is seven (it took her a while and she tried using her fingers for a while, but she's six so give her a break).
↵These lawyers, though...
↵↵↵Honest to God: After Daly tells NHL lawyer that 23 of 30 NHL teams are in US, lawyer asks "how many does that leave in Canada."

I'm sure they'll do fine trying to figure out how to divide the billions in revenues and whether it will be net or gross. Settling on a revenue sharing system will be a piece of cake too. But that 30 minus seven, that's a tricky one.
