Do we have a CBA strife thread yet?

[awaz]

The shit?

Fehr allowed, Bettman not?

We are probably overly pessimistic today just like we were probably overly optimistic yesterday

 

[flyersfan4706]

Fehr and the players union are reaching hate levels I did not think the Penguins could exceed

 

[mattola]

who are the big name players (or is it their agents) that are letting Fehr run with this? this is mind boggling.

 

[davnlaguna]

After this does Fehr replace Bettman as the most hated lifeform in hockey?

I wouldn't mind seeing a steel cage death match...

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
"I don't want the world, I just want your half"

They don't need me here and I know you're there
Where the world goes by like the humid air
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away
And the truth is we don't know anything

Ut-oh. RT @RobRossi_Trib: @penguins owners planned to stay as long as there was reason to try. They are leaving nyc tonite. #lockout

No owners in current meeting and no Bettman.

Just players, Fehr bros, Daly and Batterman

I doubt my contempt for Buttman could be exceeded by anyone....except a former owner & coach who are now dead. So they don't count.

Damn, I hope there is a podcast of this exchange:

Tempers heated up on the radio today too, but in my mind a most entertaining way. I was listening to “Hockey Central” on AM 590 The Fan from Toronto today and hosts Doug MacLean (former Columbus GM and Florida coach), former NHL player and host Nick Kypreos and the “drive” host, Darren Millard, got into it over the lockout. Boy, did they ever. Mostly, it was a match between MacLean (on the owners’ side right now) and Kypreos (on the players’ side).

But it got downright nasty at one point between the two. MacLean made a point that third- and fourth-liners are doing just fine, salary-wise, in the NHL and that a deal as it might have been done with the current terms would keep them still doing fine. He also said “nobody gives a crap” about the bottom 400 players in the NHL, that people only care about the top 300. Kypreos disagreed, and that’s when things got heated. Kypreos unloaded with this fusillade: “Maybe that’s why you never won in Columbus, because you crapped all over third- and fourth-liners.” MacLean lost his stack, firing back, “Maybe that’s why you only had an eight-year career. Maybe that’s why you got kicked out. Don’t start throwing darts when you don’t know what you’re talkin’ about.”

And it went on from there.

Fehr about to talk to the media. If only I had TSN, would love to see the shit spewing out of his mouth live on TV

 

[flyersfan4706]

#NHL wanted answers. Instead, it got NHLPA's desire for mediation return. Stalemate. Again.
