Send in the clowns: Federal mediators are joining the NHL lockout circus, but neither side has to listen to them. (Photo by Todd A. Swift/Getty Images) After getting drunk on the spirits of Operation Hat Trick in Atlantic City, we awaken to the long hangover that is the NHL lockout. That’ll sober you up real quick. By now it should be clear to whoever is still paying attention to this ongoing farce that no one really knows what’s ahead and anyone who is offering a prediction is just guessing. All we can say with relative certainty is that the next time the players and owners get together — which looks like it will be Wednesday — they’ll be joined by members of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Will that matter?

| 0.191589 | The Canucks’ Corey Schneider tells The Vancouver Sun, “The appetite for decertification is much stronger than it was before. Through this whole process, we’ve viewed that as a last means. We didn’t want it to come to that so we’ve always pushed to negotiate, negotiate.” |

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
