08:20 AM ET 11.23 | Gary Bettman managed to further infuriate the NHLPA's membership on Wednesday. [Nothing] through this lockout -- in which everyone understands the outcome will be measured only by the scope of player concessions -- has united the players more dramatically in support of Don Fehr than the way in which the league two days ago dismissed the union's proposal out of hand. ... There is a growing sense that the union will decertify and file suit against the league in order to force an end to the lockout. Preparation to decertify, as PA leaders have informed the players -- and again on Wednesday, with the subject moved to the front-burner -- is not mutually exclusive from pursuing a negotiated settlement with the league.

Let's hope they get some new "filing ties" too.

Once again with the "belly battle of the long ties club"...it appears upon closer inspection that the sport requires ones hands to be tied behind the back ;-)

It also appears Bud has a Kuato-like face (Total Recall) emerging from said belly.
