The absolute idiocy of whining about pay etc, when you've made tens of millions playing a childs game is insulting to anyone who actually works for a living.

Yeah, Trevor's gig is a breeze. No stress there.

I saw his comments, didn't look or sound like "whining" to me and I fundamentally disagree with the idea that just because he's well paid, and doesn't light the lamp like he used to, that it somehow negates his opinions. And I don't think he was insulting anybody.

The guy isn't the NHLPA head because of his stats, he's in that spot because of his other talents. His +/- is irrelevant when he's speaking on behalf of his union... I found what he said far more relevant today than any of the poorly written statements Mini-Stern read this afternoon.

...and I blame the players for the current dead lock, but Trevor was open and honest today which is more than I can say for most players over the last 90 days.
