Do we have a CBA strife thread yet?

No Steelers...no Pirates...no Penguins...wtf do I do now? I have 15 episodes of the Larry Sanders show on my DVR. That's cool.

You could do a lot worse.

NHL season-ticket holders stand by their teams - The Globe and Mail

There are more than 100,000 Canadians who hold season tickets for their local NHL team, but fewer than 200 are believed to have cancelled during the lockout so far.


sorry, fans from USA and elsewhere. this is why the league thinks it can walk all over the paying customer.
because in so many of the 'core' markets.... they can.

Figures

Just when my Clippers are on a tear, the NHL tries to steal me back.

I won't get fooled again

Please don't mess this up.

I won't believe it until a deal is actually signed though.

@Eklund: source. "we're getting near the end."The owners feel this CBA is better than the NBA or NFL players got. In my opinion, they are right.

I would never post an Eklund tweet, but he is man of the day after all

This better not mean the opposite is going to happen.

Come on, Barry Melrose didn't tweet it

Fuck it, getting all my hopes up. (Again)

I don't want to get my hopes up. Fehr has a way of dashing them.

"Sooner or later, you gotta negotiate to get a deal done. When you really look at the actual amount of time spent doing that over the past six months, the number is absurdly low.

If it stays that way, this isn't going to work."

The NHL and NHL Players' Association have been involved in conference calls and discussions on Saturday that are expected to drift into the early evening.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the calls are purely "informational", and no bargaining is going on.

It is believed that if discussions go well on Saturday, then a face-to-face meeting between the two sides could take place on Sunday in New York.

The Players' Association has been reading through the 288-page offer that the NHL presented to them on Thursday.
