Do we have a CBA strife thread yet?

As part of a thank you for getting a deal done the Bruins will play all games at home this season, including playoffs games.

yup...and because of Crosby and Ron Burkle's tireless efforts, Nathan MacKinnon has been gifted to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Sounds like good progress was made yesterday. Not all that surprising that you seat George Parros across the table from a guy and he's suddenly more willing to make concessions.

Mario Lemieux has been instrumental in the negotiations too

he is celebrating with a big bucket o' wings ... aka his daily mid afternoon snack

Poutine is a meal for him not a snack. Suck the gravy up with a straw, take a break for a mid meal smoke, and then finish off the rest.

That is a hall of fame type workout.

Can we have Seth Jones instead

I don't have a link, but I got this from a very reliable source on another board (and I think Kypreos said something to the same effect):

Players are being told to prepare for mini camps to begin as early as next Friday.

I thought the Pens were pretty loaded with defensemen...

Yes, Shero has been stockpiling them. He has a very good knack for flipping them for 40 goal wingers, though

Hey, I need to stir the swamp from time-to-time...

/Kidding, I haven't been to the place in 18 months.

John Shannon ‏@JSportsnet
Was just told by an NHL Coach, that since @RealKyper reported Coaches contacting players, the teams have been warned to cease and desist

What about players talking to owners? (it's been widely speculated that Crosby has been talking to Burkle for the past couple of weeks)

After the BOG meetings, NHLPA presented NHL with a proposal. #TSN

This won't be good

just to get you ready for tonight

Bettman ~10 minutes after proposal: "Their proposal was completely unacceptable. We've worked tirelessly to compensate their needs and desires and they refuse to budge on any points. I see no reason for us to spend more time in a meeting when their proposal is so far away from what we can agree to. No new meetings have been scheduled, and games through December have been cancelled."
