I missed this one because it was most likely part of baseball coverage but Brian Bradley blasted Gob and Bary last week:

“I think both of them are in the wrong,” he said. “I don’t think both of them should be around once the deal is made. We need a change.”

“I think Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow have ego problems,” Bradley said. “I’m not saying Gary’s a bad guy. I’m not saying Bob’s a bad guy. I know them both personally. But after everything is said and done, what they did to the game, they damaged it.”

Just anothner voice of discourse from a former star…. While the current players remain mostly mute.

The NHL is set to hold a Research and Developement meeting at a small rink in Toronto… They’ll be trying new things out, keeping an open mind… The possibilities for change are quite a few.

But until a new CBA is reached (and until the dust settles from this lockout), these changes still amount to re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic — while the Titanic sits on the ocean floor. Changes alienate those fans who remained loyal during the lockout, and only detracts from fans who have run from the game because of the CBA warfare. “They changed the game? Ha! I’m happy I got out while I did!”
