A story this morning out of Chicago which affords some more players' takes on their NHLPA meeting. It's interesting how the facts seem to keep getting twisted when they come out of the mouths of the union leadership. I love this quote from Curtis Brown of the Blackhawks:

"Going to the meeting and getting educated on the issues and not just hearing what the media reports or what Mr. (Commissioner Gary) Bettman has to say, but really getting in behind the issues and see what's really going on, I came out of there supporting the union 100 percent," Brown said.

He goes on to say the NHL wants to take away guaranteed contracts, arbitration, and other things which have never been mentioned (at least that I can find) anywhere.

Curtis, if you want to find out what the NHL has proposed, ask the PA leadership for copies of what the League gave them. Don't just buy what they tell you if you want to see "what's really going on." You're being lied to, I'm sure of it.
