Both sides are a bunch of weasels and henchman. How Gary Bettman managed to get almost everyone to say how wonderful he is, despite most people hating him for years and years prior, is beyond me. His PR department does a wonderful job. Goodenow, on the other hand, has one terrible PR department and a bunch of idiot players making them look like the devil. But the fact of the matter is, both sides have ruined the game for the fans.
We shouldn't support either, otherwise, they will never have pressure to get anything done. I'm sick of both of them, and Bettman and Goody need to take a walk down a short plank. Let's bring in some fresh blood and do this right. I'm sick of the "he said, she said" BS that pervaded these talks, the silly ultimatums, and the childish letters.
