Do we have a CBA strife thread yet?

[dash]

And just think, we have another month of this crap...

DarrenDreger: Doesn't sound like PA is willing to work with the NHL's 3 main issues. League responded by saying it won't budge. No progress. As you were.

By the way, I enjoyed C. Thomas Omeds in 'The Outsiders'...

He is working a lot lately. He popped up in the new Spider Man movie (which I thought was a train wreck).

I haven't seen the new Spider-Man movie, but I enjoyed the first three (well, the last one wasn't as good as the first two).

Well big problem right away is they have the origin story again which takes up an hour or so.
Thats kind of like reading all about the CBA negotiations in November then reading all about them again in December. (keeping the thread subject intact)

Word is that Seguin, Chara, Rask and most NHL players are back in the states and have left the Euro teams.

I suspect the season will be saved at some point in the very near future.

Or maybe they are home for the Christmas break

I thought it was better than Spider Man 3 at least.

Obama says get 'er done...

@michaelgrange The embarrassment for #NHL & #NHLPA will come after they get a deal and how obvious it will seem. 'They burned half a season for this?'

Spot on Mike, spot on...

I dont think it was but the third was not very good so I do not disagree too much. I think if you cut 20 minutes out of the middle of SpiderMan 3 it gets a lot better. The whole first hour is dull and slow in the new one IMO.

Plus you have Peter learning his powers in an 80s style rock montage.

Here we go:

Aaron Ward ‏@aaronward_nhl
NHLPA Executive Board voted last night,to give players a vote to AUTHORIZE Exec Board to chose to proceed on Disclaimer of Interest #TSN

 

[dash]

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle
Players will not comment for "legal reasons" but told they have moved one step closer to filing disclaimer of interest. Would dissolve NHLPA

As the kids say, shit is getting serious.

Asked if any progress has been made the last few days, Bill Daly tells me..."None. If anything, our talks have confirmed how far apart we really are."

I was going to make a glib comment, but based on the tragedy in Connecticut today, I'll refrain.

I've given up on Bettman trying to save the season (hell, he's already got one lost season on the books). However, maybe some of the more moderate owners (along with some governors) can pressure Bettman to get a deal done.

Disclaimer is a clever move by the players - Cross Checks Blog - ESPN

Maybe Brodeur after a stint with Jenny Craig?

Why try to negotiate when it's so much easier to file a lawsuit?
