Can't always get what you want.Crazy_Ike said:I would want to see an apology.
I don't see one from Linden in that letter.
I don't think the players believe they should have to apologize, despite being mostly at fault for the lockout in the first place.
They have learned nothing.
I don't think Linden(or any player) owes me anything, except getting back on the ice and playing hockey, which is what they will do.
Fact is, they dont have to say they are sorry to get you back, you being here and all heated up about it is proof to that.
I dont think you can say they were at fault for the lockout in the first place. They may have had the ability to stop it, or make it a shorter lockout, but it was the owners fault for the lockout.
Most of you who make these arguements like to spout how stupid the players are.."they dont get it" "they havent learned" So why are you surprised when they couldnt figure it out?
Seriously, you want the players to be negoiators, lawyers, GMs, agents, financial advisors AND elite atheletes..again...can't always get what you want.
Like I said, the fact that you guys are here, Saturday and sunday mornings, from 6am on, is all the proof I need to say that they don't need to apologize to you, you're back.
The apology is for the casual fan..my wife( typical casual fan) read both letters and even after listening to me whine and complain and putting up with me all these months, her response to those letters was, "It's about time..so whens the first game?"
Thanks Trevor, you did a hell of a job, I appreciate it.
