Calgary Flames defenceman Andrew Ference is the latest frustrated player to speak his mind on the NHL lockout.
Ference told the Calgary Sun that he was upset with the lack of communication between the league and the players' union.
"It's asinine and it's both sides," Ference told the Sun. "How are you going to solve a conflict without communication? I don't understand the motivation behind sitting around.
"Even if you're not going to talk to the other guy, why not put forward some ideas you have so the public can see them and can say, 'These guys are putting forward an effort.'
"I understand there's an art to negotiation but right now, they're pretty s----- artists."
