CS85 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 They met for 7 hours and they're meeting again tomorrow. That can't be a bad sign, can it?Hell no. Meet and keep meeting. It's 100% more productive than sitting on your hands. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

The_Admiral Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 And if the Devils are like most teams, they made sure a lot of good young players were put on assignment before the lockout. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Style Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Looks like this will get done. That kind of pisses me off, too. Why did everyone wait so long? Seems like this could have been done months ago. I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacificCoastRL Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, I guess I'm starting to miss the NHL a little bit. Since MLB ended I've been somewhat bored. But high school basketball starts in a couple weeks and that will get me through the winter until baseball and rugby league start again. Can you tell I don't care.

Sodboy13 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So, why did things start to have a glimmer of hope on Wednesday and Thursday, only to fall back to the familiar "both sides are still vey far apart" on Friday? Here, let Renaud Lavoie of RDS help to explain:Tough meeting today. Talks were good this week but some say its because Jeremy Jacobs was not there...until today.Blame Bettman all you want because he's the (rodent) face of the league, but we will not have hockey until Jeremy Jacobs gets everything he wants. He's pulled all of the low-revenue owners together into an obstructionist bloc, having convinced them that his way is the only way to keep them from losing tens of millions of dollars annually. (Of course, his way is also the way of minimal revenue sharing, so it'll leave the Nashvilles and Columbuses in the same situation 4 or 5 years down the road. He's convinced those worse-off than him to vote against their best interests to pad his own bottom line. Huh.) Jacobs is in the perfect position to do this, having a popular, profitable, and successful franchise in a market with especially ardent fans who seem much more likely to blame "those lazy rich fahks on the ice" than some guy in a suit who they never see. All of this likely makes Jeremy Jacobs a savvy businessman, but a terrible person. Guess which one of those he cares about.

The_Admiral Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I don't dispute that Jacobs himself doesn't want to share revenue, but the last CBA proposal, for whatever it was worth, did allow for $200 million to be dispersed with no teams disqualified for market size or revenue shortfalls. It even left the final figures up to "the revenue sharing committee," which really meant that the Hurricanes and Coyotes would get to use Canada as their piggy bank.What's even stranger is that this would seem to be against his own self-interest in the same way that it is for the Canadiens and Blackhawks (the former we know is pissed about the lockout, the latter we can only assume): through Delaware North, he has his tentacles into the concession sides of several teams, the Predators being one of them off the top of my head. So the same way that Molson is mad that they're not selling more Molson, shouldn't he want to get back into the business of selling marked-up hot dogs?Jeremy Jacobs must have thanked God for every day that Bill Wirtz was alive, huh. Allowed him never to be the most odious plutocrat in the bunch. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Well, I'm glad I have CFL playoffs, Sudbury Wolves games on TV this year (wow!), plus the Toronto Rock, and probably a few local college basketball games to go to. Alert me when a deal is signed, I say. I'll tender my response in five to seven days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 They need to stop delaying the inevitable and just cancel the season. I don't think anyone has high hopes at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=409346Steve Fehr, special counsel to the NHL Players' Association, believes the collective bargaining agreement can be wrapped up in a hurry once the sides make a breakthrough in negotiations."One thing (deputy commissioner) Bill Daly and I agree upon is that when the moment is right the deal could be done very quickly," Fehr said Monday during a panel discussion at the PrimeTime Sports Management Conference. "One days, three days or whatever."Asked later if he agreed with that assertion, Daly replied: "I hope he's right."Representatives from the NHL and NHLPA have met seven of the last nine days, but no future talks are planned. Fehr told the panel that three issues remain to be solved: the split of money, player contract rights and who pays for the damage caused by the lockout.Damage???? Good luck on that agreement. It feels like both sides take one step forward & one giant leap backward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Oh my god is Batterman seriously trying to get the players to pay sponsors for being locked out?I mean, obviously salaries have to be prorated, but what else could they mean by paying for the damage? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
