Macleans interview with Donald Fehr re the lockout.

Honestly the more I read about the whole situation the more pessimistic I get.

It bugs me that they are fighting over our money in front of our face, again.
If the season doesn't begin on time, yes on time, I really believe whatever money they are at war over, won't be there when they do figure it out. These guys are really going to blow it. You just can't show this kind of greed in a slowly recovering economy. Things were a little better economically back in '04. Not this time though.
Sorry fellas, but I see this Mexican Stand Off / Clash of Egos going a while. I'd be absolutely flabberghasted if we see hockey in 2012.

Is there anything about hockey’s economics that makes it different from other pro sports?
Awful answer by Fehr. You can tell more about a person by what he doesnt say most times.
The correct answer is lack of a big money national TV deal in the US.
What do you think this omission says about Fehr?Originally Posted by DuklaNation
Gee, I wonder why there isnt a big money TV deal in the US? Maybe because this sport is becoming the laughing stock of professional sports from all the work stoppages the past couple decades compared to the other big sports. Its getting to the point where MLS soccer will soon pass hockey (if it hasnt already) as far as American viewership goes.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
At least we know that both sides are hard at work... telling us who to blame.But what you have to remember is that it takes two to make a deal. And there’s only been one side talking about shutdowns, losing large parts of the season, saying, “Give me what I want right now.” And that’s the same side that has done it twice before. And I would just ask the fans to remember that.

Agreed, creating corporate buzz words can be very time consuming.

My answer is the obvious one and hurts the players standpoint for revenue sharing (ie. less money) and should be self-explanatory why he didnt given that answer.
Reminds me of corporate buzz word bingo... (google it)...

From TSN:
That's like a couple who are trying to 'get pregnant' sleeping in separate rooms and masterbating all the time.Even though they aren't meeting, Bill Daly says both sides are working on a new CBA internally.
F**king idiots...
