Thread: The Official CBA Negotiations/Lockout Super Thread

At this point,both sides should be put in a room and not be able to leave until they have a new CBA deal done. The egos on both sides are not helping the people who work at or around Hockey Arenas who depend on the extra income to get by. At least the L.A. Kings will be SCC for another year if and when the Season is officially cancelled.

Ludicrous!

It's not enough that they get paid outrageously well when they do play, they also want to get paid for games they haven't even played. GDMFn tarts.

It's just a game to the PA.
They are out of touch with reality.
Dumbasses all of them, Hamrlik, Neuvirth, & any like them excluded.

I've got to wonder Bogey, given the apparent level of your vitriol against the players, why you would ever again watch an NHL game.

Oh I don't know why they just don't go ahead and cancel the rest of the gd season. We all know that's whats coming anyway. Greedy bunch of a-holes, all of them.

I am so frickin mad right now. Not even sure what to do other than eat more turkey and pretend college football is something I want to watch. Bettman needs to be gone after this. He has been so terrible for the sport. I hate em all right now.

Oh, and hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Him and fehr. Although I think fehr is closer to being gone than bettman is.

What sucks is all of the players are being viewed in such a negative manner and cast in a bad light (or whatever terminology/phrase you want to use). I think an extremely large majority of the players would except the owners' current offer on the table right now though. Unfortunately, it's fehr and the players with the outrageously horrible contracts that are making the decisions for the whole union. They're the ones bringing the union down. Each day the lockout continues, the more the majority of the players lose. The continuation of the lockout is only the fault of fehr and a few players, not all of the players. fehr and bettman both need to be gone.

Haggerty: Where does the NHL go from here?

With the NHL (and that includes the players and PA) it's like that instance where you say "Surely they can't be THAT stupid, right?" when someone brings up a remote possibility, and sure enough it turns out they ARE that stupid. I've been asking myself, surely they aren't stupid enough to cancel the season, right? But you just don't know anymore.

They are that stupid. And don't call me Shirley.

Maybe... the NHL does not own the Stanley Cup.
