Good Question

Chad Finn asked a very good question in his last Touching All the Bases:
Whatever happened to the NHL gambling scandal, anyway? One minute, "SportsCenter" is making it sound like Janet Gretzky is going to spend the rest of her life making female prison movies (not entirely a bad thing), and the next minute the saga of apparent Soprano-wannabe Rick Tocchet is all but forgotten as they've moved on to the Next Big Controversy or the day's sixth Barry Bonds story.
Good point! What has happened to this story? Is it just that the Coyotes are out of it and with Wayne not seen - the story is not heard? Nothing new with the prosecution of Tocchet (Janet Grezky was never going to be prosecuted - her name was just dragged through this for sensationalism). This scandal was supposed to rock hockey to its foundation (if you believed the ESPN hype). Now - poof - nothing.
