Fehr- rigid, evil, smug, short sighted Bettman-see above
NHL network- where were they throughout all this? No nightly show, no updates, just tons of coyotes predators playoff games.
Pierre Lebrun- how many times did he say he was optimistic the deal would be one? Finally he kept his tweets shut and they settled this nonsense.
NHL sponsors- seemingly applied no pressure to get this done. Bridgestone ought to be livid, but no noise. And as we all know, money talks. Sponsors butter the owners bread.
