		<description><![CDATA[Your right blom... BUT only if the players feel like they have to hold out to show the owners that they are not afraid of losing a season or even a season+. If they feel like standing up now so that maybe the owners would actually be willing to negotiate in good faith upon the end of the next CBA. Perhaps they believe that these lockouts will just keep happening and if they fold now there is no reason for the ownership to do anything otherwise. Perhaps the players are doing it for themselves in part but maybe they are doing it for the young guys who just arrived and for that 15 yr old phenom that will be here in a few years. I don&#039;t know the answer, if I did I&#039;m guessing I would not be here talking to you guys I&#039;d be there trying to make a difference. I guess none of us really know why the players don&#039;t see this as money they will never receive or maybe they do and they just are willing to sacrifice that in order to drive home the point that a lockout does not equal them getting everything they want. If they lockout then they better be prepared to lose a whole season+ IF they don&#039;t come to the table with real offers and an openness to negotiate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Comrade Sportsfan69 ! (Iron Cross 1st Class with Oak Leaf Cluster)   

My friend, of course it&#039;s important that &quot;good times&quot; are always the order of the day here.  :)    But with all kidding aside, I am serious about my concern that Fehr may not be &quot;exactly&quot; the person who the players think he is ?  Right from the start in September, I dismissed this entire affair as nothing more than a &quot;contrived&quot; charade on the part of Bettman, designed to simply eliminate the initial part of the season and perhaps to &quot;give it on the chin&quot; a little to the players, etc.  As for Fehr ?  Well I viewed him as being nothing more than a bystander, or a &quot;payed&quot; patsy if you will.  Just recently however, I&#039;m now finding my previous &quot;light-hearted&quot; indifference to the whole thing being replaced by a very dark and ominous fear that something &quot;below board&quot; could indeed be going on here ?  When you step back and look at things in their entirety, positively &quot;everything&quot; Fehr has done to date has been completely consistent with the total destruction of the NHLPA.  Now marry that fact to the fact that Fehr is not a hockey fan ... the fact that this will be his last contract before retirement .. the fact that the man is suspected of having personal financial troubles himself .. etc .. etc.  Of course I can&#039;t say any more than the next guy that I know what&#039;s really going on here.  However I&#039;m now definitely sensing something very &quot;ominous&quot; with this business and I don&#039;t like it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U have got to be kidding me. You all call yourselves hockey fans? U can hate Sid, bash him etc. facts are facts, like it or not. He is the face of the league and well deserved. He&#039;s class, speaks like he&#039;s educated, and you poor fools that hate him because he&#039;s not on your team, too bad for you! Jealousy is for little children. Name a better player in the league the last 6 years? Who fills half empty stadiums when he&#039;s in town just so real fans who appreciate his talent can say they saw him play?]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U have got to be kidding me. You all call yourselves hockey fans? U can hate Sid, bash him etc. facts are facts, like it or not. He is the face of the league and well deserved. He&#8217;s class, speaks like he&#8217;s educated, and you poor fools that hate him because he&#8217;s not on your team, too bad for you! Jealousy is for little children. Name a better player in the league the last 6 years? Who fills half empty stadiums when he&#8217;s in town just so real fans who appreciate his talent can say they saw him play?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, for starters, I am a flyers fan.  So there&#039;s strike one for ol&#039; Sid.

Secondly, Crosby&#039;s glory is simply overblown.  He&#039;s good, but he&#039;s not the star that the NHL is so obviously trying to market him as.  Having a seething dislike for that diaper wearing, teet-suckling, cry baby on figure skates is more than just a simple reaction to his on-ice antics, its a statement of position against what the NHL is trying to do to its image.  NHL needs to stop propping up fake stars and stop pulling BS marketing stunts like the Guardian Project, and start worrying about how to REALLY appeal to the masses if they want growth.

They should be embracing the things about hockey that make it fun and exciting to watch.  Sid is good, but he&#039;s no icon.  In a decade, no one outside of fanatics will remember who he was.]]></description>

You&#039;ve been right on the money with the NHLPA&#039;s self destruction.  May I reveal your real name?  Ernst Starvo Blofeld.  You&#039;ve been caught on film with Gary Bettman (Tov Kronsteen) and Gary&#039;s personal secretary (Rosa Kleeb) plotting your next moves on the NHLPA.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll bite, and I&#039;m just curious: I don&#039;t get why any non-Flyers hockey fan doesn&#039;t like Crosby. I hated him when he broke into the league and took dives nonstop, whined to the refs without a letter, etc. But since then he&#039;s been nothing but the best hockey player of a generation. At this point what does he have to do to win your love?]]></description>
