So why aren't the players picking up the phone? Has Goodenow had all of their phones disconnected?
Goodenow has an answering system on his phone...
"If you are a NHLPA players representative, please enter your 37 digit security access code now..."
"If you are not a players representative, but are a player, please press 1 now..."
After pressing 1...
"If you would like to hear words of encouragement from the union leaders, please press 1 now..."
"If you would like helpful hints on how to insult Bettman and the owners in the press. please press 2 now..."
"If you have any other questions, please press 3 now..."
After pressing 3...
"If you would like to contribute money to the union fund, please press 1 now..."
"If you made a statement to the press that is contrary to the unions position and would like assistance clarifying your statements, please press 2 now..."
"If you have any other questions, please press 3 now..."
After pressing 3...
"If you would like to contribute to the 'Feed Modano's Dog Fund', please press 1 now..."
"If you would like to hear Mr. Goodenow sing his favorite lockout owner bashing songs, please press 2 now..."
"If you have any other questions, please press 3 now..."
After pressing 3...
"If you would like to praise Mr. Goodenow for his handling of the lockout, please press 1 now..."
"If you have a problem with how Mr. Goodenow is handling the lockout, please stand by for the next available representative..."
After waiting for 15 minutes, listening to William Shatner's greatest hits, you are transfered to a message service in some unknown middle eastern country...
(I'm sure Goodenow's got a lot more layers to his answering service...)
