Just can't stand him and Vlasic and friends going on about how mean and unfair the NHL has been. Now it's the IOC and IIHF to. But of course no mention of the players.

They could have fought for it in the CBA, they could have received permission to go if they would have extended the CBA. They didn't, as was their right, but the players have to realize this is just as much on the NHLPA as it is on everyone else.
