Did Cherry pick the line up? No European player in today's #CBA meeting between the #NHL and the PA. #theplayers

Now that is funny.

Kevin Westgarth is a Princeton grad... so like Parros he has the education to actually speak at owner's level.

Bieksa would rather use his Bowling Green business degree to write fake player blogs and fake twitter accounts

I'm surprised the Owners didn't invite Hamrlik.

lol - Even if you don't agree with Hammer, at least he didn't back down from his statements (or say his twitter account was hacked or that his comments were taken out of context).

I have no idea what they are doing

they say 6 vs 6 now 18 vs 6?

no nhl or nhlpa leaders

wait what Daly and Brother Fehr are in it as well.

Hamrlik explains comments towards CBA - sportsnet.ca

watch the video he has a great quote. and hes right he deserves the right to say it without being questioned

So, how are you enjoying the KHL Alex?

"I am very comfortable in Moscow, Russia in general, but my soul is across the ocean, in the NHL, with Washington Capitals, with whom I still hope to win the Stanley Cup," he said, adding that he "certainly" would return when the lockout ends. "Alas, every week, even every day and hour, the hope that the NHL lockout will be solved, is decreasing."

Ovechkin is also clearly sour about the disinterest in the KHL by Moscow hockey fans.
"The most annoying thing is almost complete lack of interest in hockey in Moscow," he said. "For example, our game with CSKA was attended by fewer people than a basketball game. And the difference was enormous, three thousand spectators less than watched (basketball)."

I have zero problem with what Hammer said, I was just trying to make a funny.
