SAN JOSE — A four-day, four-rink, 119-game hockey tournament that wrapped up Sunday had players jostling, fans whooping and coaches cursing, but there was something a little different about these particular puck fights. Most of them happen closer to the ice, with players strapped atop bladed sleds, using dual spike-tipped sticks to quickly push themselves around the rink. Other games bring out an unusual puck — an oversized rubber-wrapped steel deal that’s filled with…

This is what the NHL and Gary Bettman do when they don’t get their way: They take their puck and go home. Or stay home. They refuse to play. They did it through Owners’ Lockouts I, II and III in 1994, 2004 and 2012 and they’re doing it again with the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The only thing surprising about this is that anyone, least of all…

A berth in a second European Championship final is within reach as well. That’s a…
