Sidney Crosby claimed to be "devastated" after the latest labor negotiation meetings ended worse than they began. Owners from several teams commented yesterday after two incredibly long meetings in New York, and each seemed thoroughly disappointed. Day 83 of the lockout feels as if Day 1 never ended.
