Do we have a CBA strife thread yet?

Not trying to steal Matty's thunder, but I think he would like this...

Sure, everyone is quick to post something from twitter as soon as it happens, but no one bothers to answer a question about it?

:popsnoidea:

probably because it compresses to fit onto a standard twitter feed, and when you have all the movement on the right hand side, that's too much info to compress smoothly.
but what the fuck do I know.

Perhaps that's why they have this now?

From another board:

This situation has had a deep and profound effect on me. You see, the spare time on my hands the lockout has created has resulted in a lot of quality time spent with the wife just talking....well...mostly just listening. I'm way up to date now with the office bickering and back-stabbing in my wife's workplace, and all of her grievances, and I now know everyone's name and all their petty quirks. For the love of God you two, get a deal done. Nobody should be subjected to this daily round of torture.

Further NHL regular season cancellations today. Thru Dec 30th.

 

[mattola]

Now you're looking at a "1995-95"-type season of 48 games

48 games - That's a breeze for Kipper.

 

[mattola]

next cancellation after this is the season isnt it.

They could tease us with another two weeks I suppose (aka Jan. 15th). Hell of a job by the commissioner (and I realize Fehr is doing his best/worst to prolong this labour strife), but c'mon, three lockouts in 18 years?!? What good is record revenues if nobody can watch your product?

May they all burn in eternal hell. Bettman, Fehr, Fehr, Daly. All of them... basically any one of the corrupt lawyers related to this train-wreck of a negotiation. Keeping my fingers crossed that Gary's Leerjet veers of a runway and explodes into a massive fireball.

 

[puckhead]

I told my kid to leave the NHL ornaments in the box this year, because fuck gary bettman, that's why.
huh - still need to finish the top 1/3

Not that it did much good, but it appears Mario was doing his best to save the season...

fehr is at fault here as well but I can tell you there is NOTHING anyone can say to me to convince me that gary bettman is good for the NHL 3 lockouts tells me otherwise he is poison to fans and the game. his strategy on how to win these cba negotiations is to take the game away from everyone until they break. its killing this league. not the game it will always endure (juniors, etc..) but the league will suffer long.

Yikes.

Uh, excuse me, but isn't that, like, Bettman's job or something? - To keep the owners up to date on the latest proposals/counter-propsals & to make sure that each owner knows where his fellow owners stand ATM?

Not reporting a disclaimer of interest is coming. Just my opinion with #NHL showing lack of interest in closing a #CBA deal.


what does disclaimer of interest do here?

I think it's a faster version of decertification of the union...

 

[mattola]

I think it's a faster version of decertification of the union...

so they can save a season?

so the question is again

what happens to all players since contracts are toast under Old cba

and do teams keep their draft picks entry level deal players?
