This this this a million times this.
Fehr isn't going to win. The only way he could have hoped to win was if the owners folded early...and they backed off a lot of their stuff quickly, but Fehr was more interested in playing the showman than getting what needed to get done, so he's ****ed the NHLPA over. At this point I'm just expecting everything to go nuclear until April and the owners are only going to take more and more things off the table. The owners have all the chips and they're far better equipped to be in this for a longer period of time. The players want revenge for 2005...but they don't have good enough cards to pull this ****. Not now.
