Thread: The Blame Game

And FU Mitchrock. Your worst job yet.

I blame it on the rain

No! I AM THE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

It's the schools. If we fail to invest in our schools, we have only ourselves to blame. So, it's the schools and us. And monkey boy. Once a society condones monkee love, we're just waiting for someone to throw the switch.

In a strictly literal sense it's the owners because the players cannot lock themselves out.

But beyond that, the players agreed to play on the old contract while continuing negotiations. That puts the blame squarely on management, IMO.

Who's to blame? Well, it isn't Bettman or Fehr since they do what the owners and players want. So it comes down to the Owners vs. the PA. To me, the poll lacks a choice of "both" sides...that is it where the blame lies. Both sides are playing PR games when they should be discussing things. Whatever....
