Thread: The Official CBA Negotiations/Lockout Super Thread

How can Fehr possibly believe Bettman? He said the same thing about the NHL's original offer.

At this point, Fehr probably doesn't believe a single word Bettman says.

Matters? If I was around 9 years old, I could see that it would be important to see the banner being raised, however most of us are over 18 and it will not effect our lives in any way not to see a banner raised and if it does well...

Most of us over 18 can get over primadonna's and egomaniac's arguing as well. There's a reason we pay a ticket fee to watch what nobody else in the world can do. If it's past you by find another passion as you would obviously be wasting money.

Okay, thank you

I agree, but the latest news coming from Helene Elliott is that the league has refused the NHLPA's request for meetings tomorrow (http://www.latimes.com/sports/sports...,1180747.story). I'm really starting to believe that Bettman doesn't want this thing resolved?

bingo! btw, if i calculated correctly, with each paycheck lost, owners are saving about $140 million in salary.

It takes 2 to make a deal and the NHL doesn't want to negotiate. We aren't seeing any hockey until January.

Thanks.

I needed a good belly laugh this morning.

Blowenick lost his "game" when he left Chicago. So, no, he isn't making any sense....he just regretted losing the dough.
