The National Hockey League announced another round of cancellations on Friday, wiping out all regular-season games through Dec. 14, as well as the All-Star Game in Columbus, Ohio, originally slated for Jan. 27. The lockout now has cost the league 422 regular-season games -- 34.3 percent of the season -- as well as all of its marquee events; the annual Winter Classic was canceled earlier this month. "The reality of losing more regular-season games as well as the 2013 NHL All-Star Weekend in Columbus is extremely disappointing," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. "We feel badly for NHL fans and particularly those in Columbus, and we intend to work closely with the Blue Jackets organization to return the NHL All-Star events to Columbus and their fans as quickly as possible."

I'm just tired of them keeping up this charade like something is getting done when it isn't. Posted via Mobile Device
2 fold: Its a ploy to make the public think that the owners actually care about the fans, the sport and saving the season (they dont) and its also a ploy to make the player's union give in so that there can be a season. They need to just cancel the season and get it over with. The owners arent willing to compromise on 1.5% of revenue (the player's union has come down somewhat from what they originally wanted), which is all the proof you need that the owners dont care if there is a season or not.
