That video was a steaming pile of dung -- same with the statement issued by the NHL. They should all be ashamed of themselves!

I'm trying to be 50/50 in my anger towards both sides, but the NHLPA PR machine trying so desperately to paint the players as victims is making it really hard for me to not hate that side a little more. Enough already.
Seriously. I made it about 30 seconds into the video before *I* was embarrassed for them.Quote:

As they made their run last spring, the undercurrent of a lockout added to the urgency of winning it all when they had the chance.
Sure the owners signed players for $200 million but how much are those contracts going to be actually worth after the Walmart Rollbacks?
The lockout is really going to hurt in January after most of the football is done. That's when we will feel the sting.
It will be over by Christmas we see a 50 game shortened season
Don't be embarrassed for the players. Be embarrassed for the owners. You know, the one's who have absolutely no ****ing clue how to run a hockey team even with a salary cap.Quote:

There's this thing called free-agency?Quote:

Look into it.
They may have been "****ed over" 8 years ago, but that's not relevant to now. That "****ing over" worked out pretty damn well for them over the last 8 years.Quote:
