EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CP) - New Jersey Devils centre John Madden says his much-publicized comments regarding possibly accepting a salary cap were taken out of context.
``I was asked if my union decided to go along with a cap, would I accept that and I said, `yeah, I'd go along with my union,''' Madden was quoted as saying in Friday's edition of the Bergen (N.J.) Record. ``(The union) obviously has our best interest in mind. That's all I said.''
When asked if he could envision the union caving in and accepting a cap, Madden replied: ``No, not at all.''
A day earlier, Madden's comments in the Newark Star-Ledger ignited a fireball across North America just a day into the NHL lockout.

This...
``I was asked if my union decided to go along with a cap, would I accept that and I said, `yeah, I'd go along with my union,'''
...contradicts this...
`` And if it needs to have a cap, give it a cap, you know?''
How f'n stupid do these players think the fans are?
I thought highly of Madden yesterday. Tonight, a five-letter word starting with 'p', ending with 'y' and including two 's' comes to mind.
