08:22 AM ET 12.18 | As the lockout leans more heavily on the courts to plot the game's future, there are varying levels of hope that the courtrooms can help. The NHL's decision to file a pre-emptive lawsuit against the NHL Players' Association appears to be based on a desire to show the union that its plan to file a "disclaimer of interest" in order to allow the players to file antitrust suits against the league will fail. And I believe the union's plan will indeed fail because Judge Paul Engelmayer, the young but brilliant federal judge in New York City who has been assigned the case, will see right through the formality of the disclaimer of interest to the underlying substance of what it really is: just another negotiating tactic by a union whose death will have been greatly exaggerated.

Thunderdome may not be such a bad idea considering how really ridiculous the negotiations have been so far.

Ha Ha - my middle teenaged Daughter would be appalled at such heresy. She is a crazed belieber. Thank the dear Lord for head phones and ear buds.

right...just like all the women of another age were so appalled when it suggested Ricky Martin was "Livin' La Vida Pato" (NYers know what that means)
