Voices of the NHL Lockout

"The owners can basically be viewed as the Ranch, and the players, and me included, are the cattle. The owners own the Ranch and allow the players to eat there. That's the way its always been and that the way it will be forever. And the owners simply aren't going to let a union push them around. It's not going to happen." -- Red Wings Senior VP to Island Sports News. (The Wings were fined $250,000 by the NHL for his remark.)
