As of tomorrow, we can officially lock this thread.  >:(

These guys are bigger fools, both sides, than the baseball umpires who resigned a few years back. They should ask Eric Gregg how that worked out ....
The NFL old standard.

PG would you please write Gary Bettman a hatemail already.  That would be enough to get him to agree to the players deal.

Just the fact that both sides have finally (where was this in December?  :boom) given some ground gives hope for a last-minute settlement.

Then again, this sport has been run by idiots (on both sides) for years.

Barry Melrose just said he expects hockey to be back  :-D
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

why would anyone want to play a season at this point? wouldnt it be about 10 games?

the NoHockeyLeague is a damn joke.

i love the sport of hockey...but the NHL has all but lost me.

i heard something that about 80% of NHL players can't stand Jeremy Roenick...lol...i don't know if it's true, but it's funny.

The estimates I heard was about 25-30 games.  Just goes to prove the old adage that "the regular season doesn't mean anything."

As I said before, where was this spirit of compromise in December, when there could still be a semblance of a real season.

I think the players are finally realizing that the owners would bring in scabs next year and hockey could move on without them and suddenly the idea of a salary cap isn't so bad.

The following is the second letter NHLPA executive director Bob Goodenow sent to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.

Dear Gary,

This is in reply to your most recent letter.

1. Your claim that the Clubs ''cannot afford'' our proposal is based on your hypothetical fear of what would happen if every team spent to the $49 million level the Players have proposed. The notion that ''every Club'' will spend at the $49 million level is contradicted by years of actual payroll experience under the old CBA system and by Exhibit 12 of your December 14 document (attached for your recollection), in which you projected 24 teams well below the $49 million level after the rollback. Further, this experience is based on an environment without revenue sharing, taxes on team payrolls and the numerous new system restrictions.

Click here to find out more!


2. Based on your own calculations from Exhibit 12, over 21 Clubs are spending significantly less than your team payroll limit number of $42.5 million. I am at a loss to understand how you suggest your offer earlier today represents a $75 million dollar increase when it only impacts the spending of nine teams!

You will receive nothing further from us.

Regards,



NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
PLAYERS ASSOCIATION


Robert W. Goodenow
Executive Director & General Counsel
