They could still get in 50 games, probably more by making up some games during the All Star break.... but, I'm pretty 'meh' about it at this point.
I picture Bettman and Fehr in a room full of people... posturing, using the media, etc; then after several months of this, they look around and notice they're the only people left in the room, and they're forced to come to the same conclusion as everyone else, which is about a 50/50 split.
Dumbasses.
