Serious lulz to be had. I love twitter some days.

Media asking for interviews. I explained I'm an inanimate object incapable of sentient thought. They say no problem, we're used to Crosby.

Not sure if anybody posted this rant by Don Cherry in the Toronto Star

I see where my buddy ex-Leaf Jeff O’Neil is bein’ criticized for taking a run at the commish, Gary Bettman. I agree with Jeff when he said the words he used were inappropriate. But, in a way, I can understand him. Jeff took a very big hit the last lockout. Millions. And never made it back to the Show. So, I know how he feels.

I can understand the frustration of the players not gettin’ a paycheque because I’m not gettin’ a paycheque. But if the players think they’re helping themselves by calling Bettman an idiot and sayin’ Bettman is a cancer. . . . First, you unfeelin’ jerks. How do you think the people with cancer feel? What is the point of stickin’ Bettman and the NHL? All you do is make them more determined. Because now, and I agree with Cory Schneider, it’s almost gettin’ personal. Because I don’t care who you are, nobody likes to be called a cancer or an idiot.

And, how ’bout the players now gettin’ caps that say on the front “Puck Gary?” Can’t you see you’re hurtin’ your own cause? And, by the way, you’re hurtin’a lot more people, too, than yourselves. The lower-echelon people in the standings. The ushers. The concession guy. The cleaners. Me, I’m in that lower echelon, and the list goes on. We want it settled as much as you. Can’t Donald Fehr (pronounced Fuhr) tell these dummies to shut up?

Let’s face it, Bettman is an easy target. He’s front and centre. Let’s blame him. Don’t you realize that he’s doin’ what the owners want? The vote was 30-to-nothin’ for the lockout. That’s what the owners wanted.

Do you not think if 20 owners went to Bettman now and said “the lockout ends now” it would end? It would end for sure. No, it’s the owners that call the tune. Why don’t these players with their big mouths call out their owners? Call them idiots and cancers? No, they won’t because they don’t have the guts.

I know I’m not Bettman’s cup of tea. I don’t think he’s ever forgiven me since my tirade against him for that 20-game suspension for my buddy Dale Hunter for the hit on Pierre Turgeon (1993). But fair is fair. When I think he’s wrong, he gets it. And, when I think the players are wrong, they get it.

They’re wrong here. Smarten up. Use your head. Keep your mouth shut and let’s end this nightmare.

P.S.: By the way, Nazem Kadri was player of the week in the American Hockey League. Eleven points in five games. Thank you.

The NHL has officially eliminated all games through Dec. 30.

To this point, 526 regular season games, the Winter Classic, and the All-Star Game have been lost as a result of the lockout. 42.8% of the original schedule is gone. That being said, if the NHL season is saved, they will have to rework what's left of the schedule or simply start from scratch for balancing reasons and to play as many games as is reasonably possible.

So the union voted to basically get the process going on disbanding the union.... blah blah blah they can all go piss off.
