Breaking news: new NHL proposal

This morning it was leaked by a player that Thursday the NHL has put a new offer out. This offer moves more in the NHLPA direction. This could very easily start talks to end the lockout and have the season start jan 20 for a 48 game season

Federal Mediators...they are at it again...

Today the NHL and NHLPS sat down with federal mediators to try to seek traction or an end to this damn lockout. Unfortunately they came out of the meeting with no conclusions and not even a inkling if they are going to meet tomorrow.

The thing to remember about the mediation process is that it is a lot of back and forth and until they are in the same room as each other there are no definite deals. Speculation from today says that the mediators asked what if the league put its last offer back on the table would the players agree to its core principles. That of course led to a resounding no and a lot of pissed off fans now.

Here’s hoping to more to come from this process in the coming days. Even for me it is getting frustrating....

Keep your sticks on the ice.

Light at the end of the tunnel

last night players and owners met well into the very late hours of the night and reported that they have made real progress toward saving the nhl season. this was a nice suprising bit of news for all of us.
they are going to meet today after the end of the NHL BOG meeting. hopefully this will lead to hockey in the near future.
