08:23 AM ET 09.11 | A new wrinkle has been added to the lockout mix, as has another chapter in the escalating vitriol. A scheduled Tuesday morning hearing with the Alberta Labour Relations Board -- where the NHL Players' Association was to argue that locking out members of the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames would be unlawful -- ended up being cancelled Monday night. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly had been expected to travel to Edmonton for the hearing and told The Canadian Press in an email: "This is a joke." However, after the NHL withdrew its claim with the labour board, Daly said he felt the league still had the legal authority to impose a lockout in Alberta. The union disagreed.

It's never about truth or justice with the legal profession. Just billable hours.
