Do we have a CBA strife thread yet?

[forty_three]

Okay players, I hate Bettman too, but that...that's not a good idea.

Not so sure about that. Taking it down to a second grade schoolyard level might insult Bettman's ego to the point where he does something outlandish and worse. Trying to be reasonable hasn't done shit. Time to piss in his Wheaties.

I want one of those hats.

I want them to start releasing poorly photoshopped images of Bettman with Hitler, Bin Laden and a terrified sheep. Anything to make that little fucker's head explode.

When do they start making "Puck Fehr" hats?

Brendan Shanahan is also part of the NHL's negotiating team tonight.

Oh goodie, when somebody gives Bettman a blindside hit to the noggin, the Sheriff can make a video...

As we said before the meeting, we repeat post-meeting. NHL wants an understanding on the PA's economics before flexing on contract issues.

Dan Rosen ‏@drosennhl
Daly: "If their proposal continues to be a guaranteed amount of players' share dollars we have told them that sitting here on Nov. 19...

Dan Rosen ‏@drosennhl
Daly cont.: "that's not a proposal that is acceptable to us or would ever be acceptable to our owners right now."





It appears the PA came in and wanted to get the League to give on the contracts without giving anything back in money.
I would slit my wrists but my razor is rusty and I don't want lock jaw

Bill Daly said league has requested a formal proposal from the union. Union is considering that now, and two sides will confer in am

great, something new to summarily dismiss

Players will decide on Tuesday if they'll make, or not, a formal proposal to the NHL. I expect they will and the next meeting should be Wed.

Kraft Canada Inc. | Hockey Goes On: Kraft Canada Launches $1M Program Supporting Minor Hockey

this is brilliant. I would like to see all major sponsors take their money for the next 2 years and dedicate it to Hockey Canada and Hockey USA programs for kids that cant afford to play but want to and to strengthen the programs.

not one penny of Ad dollars of major sponsors go to NHL for 2 full years minimum and then only part of the money in future years and they still fund the kids more

 

[mooger_35]

Would be great if that happened... but not a chance companies are going to do that.

And I work for a company that's a major sponsor and there is no way they are giving it up after putting so much money into it.

NHL expects PA to cave completely and wants union to write up its own collapse. Doubt it will go well tomorrow.

I've said it from day 1. Owners have the leverage but this isn't going to be resolved before cancelling the season.

NHL is saying. man we fucked up our own deal last time. so we want you to do the same. (Im sure the owners will still fuck themselves once signed)

but this is what Ive believed they wanted the whole time. unless the players take the shit deal the NHL offered then they want them to provide a shit deal for themselves so they can say. what do you mean you are being ripped off you made this deal.

basically the NHL wants the Matt Cooke Signs a 4 year Deal with the Canucks for $450K a year deal

Edler's got to be kicking himself for not signing a lifetime deal under the last CBA.

yep. not sure what he was thinking. I bet the canucks were offereing him a AAV of $5.5 per year
