08:20 AM ET 10.23 | While his longtime teammate Vincent Lecavalier might find the notion impossible, Marty St. Louis takes a look at the lockout and wonders how much time he has left. When [St. Louis] talks about his eventual retirement with his wife, Heather, "the first thing I tell her is I don't want to fade away. "I want to finish with a bang." That is why the Lightning's star wing is so worried about the lockout that is threatening to wipe out the season. St. Louis still is a vital team member, a clutch performer and one of the faces of the franchise. But he is 37 and approaching the end of his stellar career, so every season is precious not only because so few remain but because playing helps keep his physical gifts from deteriorating.

Exactly! As I've said before there are cracks in the solidarity wall. The longer this thing drags out, the louder the criping will become.

You could drive a truck thru that opening but I'm a nice guy and will refrain from the obvious response. It's bad enough having to root for the Flames, I don't want to pile on the misery ;)
