I would've just expected him to moan "braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainssssssss"

Let me put it to you this way. If a doctor says to you that you need to stop abusing yourself or you'll die, you've got to stop. But on the other hand, you're the one abusing yourself, you've got to stop. We've got to stop. We have every right to stop.


Thats a good one Harry. Some cartoonist could have fun with that one. Sinden feels justified now. He doesnt want to say I told you so to the fans, so he say he is just saying it to himself. You're priceless harry


Pretty complete interview though. And the owners have their lines down too
.

We've lived up to the collective bargaining agreement in every sense of the words. We don't begrudge or hold it against the players. We gave them every dime coming to them. The end has come and we need to make changes to make this a much better league, a much more viable league, one in which everyone will benefit, including the fans."
