Talk about your player's views on the "lockout," what they did to pass the time and deal with the anticipation, or a combination of both.

Shooter is very disappointed that the season hasn't gotten started, but he has made good use of his time off. After a long playoff run that led to a cup victory, Shooter used the extra time to heal up and get into tip-top shape. He hired a masseuse (not the handy one that Kraft got) which helped get rid of all his knots from playing, as he hasn't had a massage before this! It hurt like hell, but he felt like a new player ready to take the league by storm again. Additionally, he went over some plays with the coaching staff, went to a few charity events, and even started meditation to help keep his focus on improvement and away from the frustration of the lockout.

For the lockout itself, he feels both sides should stop being so damn greedy, and make compromises so that we can play again, as the longer this goes on, the worse it is for the league image and new fans. Shooter wants to play, but he will keep himself busy until then...the quest for a repeat is just a bit closer to starting up.
