anybody who puts any blame on the owners or Bettman is an idiot. it's been so obvious for years that NHL players are obscenely overpaid considering they have a small % of TV revenues the other big 3 pro sports leagues have.
the game sucked anyway - pretty much unwatchable until playoff time.

Great post! INCLUDING the last line.
The talent pool spread out amongst 30 teams means the skill level of the 2nd line players and down is horrible.
Anyone who watches International hockey knows the NHL game is goddamn boring nowadays.
My only fear is that the owners capitulate and the players get what they want. Then again, if that does happen, within 3 years they'll lose at least 6 teams, so the talent level should rise.
Don't EVEN get me started on these fuckers taking a career minor leaguer's job who's playing for the love of the game and to literally put food on his family's table, so they can "Stay in shape."
