I know that this evening's events have polarized fans somewhat, but Ron Hainsey offers an answer to Mr. Deep Inside's concern about Donald Fehr being the problem for the players.

Schneider’s take on the league’s Fehr tactics
Immediately after the current lockout began, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and his NHLPA counterpart (albeit not in the collective bargaining department as he is not yet a sports labor lawyer), Mathieu Schneider, went on something of a sort of "charm offensives," chasing each other around the airwaves in the U.S. and Canada while stating and re-stating their respective...

NHL awaits return to negotiations
NEW YORK (AP) -- The next set of NHL labor negotiations were expected to get going later Thursday, but internal conversations by the players kept the sides apart by mid-afternoon.
