Nice!

Both sides are to blame for this. I think this shortened season was the plan all along. The NHL makes very little revenue in October / Movember.

Otherwise, why wouldn't they do these discussions in August?

Here's to hoping for another year of trash talking between the northeastern corridor teams (I'm gunning for you ovechkin fanboys!) and hopefully Nashville can continue their momentum, and for christs sakes can we get stamkos into the playoffs??

Go Rangers! Hopefully the new deal allows the Rangers to spend money like pacman jones in a strip club.

I kid, I kid, the league sucks when only 4 teams are good, hopefully they don't frick up the parity.

Well just to update this, Friday nights talks broke down and went into the shitter.

quote:
A bigger problem might be a wider gap between the sides than the players thought. After three seemingly positive days of talks, things went a bit sour Friday night when negotiations ended for the day. The union was under the impression the numbers suggested they were closer to an agreement. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman disagreed.

"They came back to us and said, 'No, we are very very far apart on the structure of the deal.'"

There were vocal disagreements at the end of the session, and the union team went back to its office to hold a conference call with the executive board and other players. The union is beginning to feel that the NHL isn't ready to make a deal now, even if the players were suddenly willing to accept the league's offer in full — which they are not.

About time to say frick it, RIP NHL.
