where the sticking point seems to be

From a conversation over on reddit these are the 3 points the nhlpa is fighting the league over.

 A) Contract fulfillment
B) Definition of revenue
C) Intangibles

intagiables refers to stuff like airfairs hotel rooms and stuff like that. in other words owners agree to honor existing contracts and i bet you we got a deal!

the number we all want.

this is gary bettmans personal line.
call it let him know how much of a douche he is
let him now of our love of hockey and hate of him
let him know that hes a failure as a human being
spread it around




(212) 789-2000 ext. 2101 is Gary Bettmans line - Let your voice be heard!!! #NoLockout - only open during weekdays! Let them know all week!

At least they are talking...

CBA talks are set to resume this Friday. most of the subjects covered this time around will be minor areas like player fines and certain rule protections. But the good news is there is some definite communication maybe it will lead to an end to the lockout!

A sad day for hockey fans and players alike.

the last thing i wanted to post this weekend is this...
at 1159et the league will lockout the players  because greed has gotten in the way.
as brooks laich said yesterday " this is what happens when adults get involved in a kids game"
i will mourn this move but stand firm in my backing of the players and hope for a quick end to this lockout.
the game will endure as much as the fans allow it to.
