If only they had started this process two years ago when it was sensible to do so, we'd be speculating about this year's trade deadline and who would win the Sidney Crosby race. Instead we're speculating about if there will be a season and who will win the ego battle.
I've been thinking the last week that this whole thing would have been different if there was a player's strike instead. The speculation was that if Bettman didn't lock the players out that they would have went on strike. If that was the case, then the players couldn't go around stealing paycheques from players who actually need it (Hatcher, Draper, Chelios, Jackman, etc). We also wouldn't keep hearing "It's Gary's lockout". As if they players had nothing to do with it. Of course with a strike, bringing in replacement players would have been easier provided they could get through the pickets.
It's food for thought anyway.

Thanks for adding something intelligent to my blog. If only all people posting had a full brain instead of some minute fraction of one.
Any time. I figured another viewpoint wouldn't hurt.
