At Sportsnet, they have a quote from Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk that sums up the feelings of the people most impacted, the fans, by the lockout:

“we should be playing hockey by now.”

Melnyk adds “Everybody can finger point all they want but at the end of the day I don’t think anybody cares who’s at fault, all they know is we’re not playing hockey.”

Rangers owner James Dolan is reportedly anti-lockout.

Love how Melnyk says we should be playing hockey now and some assume he's against lockout. Maybe he thinks players are unreasonable.—
