It's been hard hearing all the different takes and rumors coming up about the lock out. I think that what Hamilton did was unsportsmanlike. We are all out here trying to win the cup but how far are you willing to go to get it? Does it still feel good to get it if it was obtained in a less than honorable way? Anyway I wouldn't have done it especially when it put the entire league at risk. This is both the game we love and our livelihoods.

With all the down time it has given me to work on my game before the season starts up (hopefully soon). I know some may say that passing is not an important part of the game anymore but I'm still working on my puck moving skills. When I'm not working on my game, I'm just spending time with my family and recovering as much as I can. Hopefully, as a silver lining, I can come back with some extra vigor and have a career year for the Platoon.
