I guess IMO I do think there are 2 sides-but aren't we all tired of hearing them? On one hand, yes, the players are greedy. But it is really only a small percentage of them that are a problem $$$ wise. I think if there was a vote from players, we would have had a season awhlie back. But if your boss let things get out of control for 10-15yrs, and then told you they can't pay what they had originally agreed upon, wouldn't you be P.O.ed?
On the other hand, if the owners get what they want, do you think ticket prices will go down? Or Canadian markets will benefit, and be able to compete salary wise? And really, what kind of season can be salvaged anyway? If your team wins and can't repeat as cup champs next year, will it be recognized as a "real" win? The bottom line I think, is that they all had 10 years to get this crap straightened out, and didn't do anything, now the small folk are paying the price...Give me a break!
