    I loved the proposed realignment, hopefully we can see that next season. I would be shocked if Fehr accepted the owners offer straight up, he's proven himself to be way too stubborn to do that over the years, but I could see him quickly countering with something very similar.

    I'll believe it when I see it.

    Here I'll save you all the trouble. They'll have a winning record and lose in the second round of the playoffs.

    Not that I believe Ovi or that the information in this thread drives the needle at all but I must say, I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeally wearing thin on Ovi. I've got about 3 fingers grasping at the "I'm done with that ****ing guy" ledge.

    I'm almost at that point too. Guy let himself go and wasted some of his prime years.

    With the likes of RG3, Strasburg, and Harper, Ovie's star has really fallen. He was at one point the most popular athlete here, now he may not even be in the top 5.

    I was so optimistic going into today and until about 5 minutes ago.

    Hard for me to believe there will even be a season at this point. Good job NHLPA - *******s.

    Donald Fehr was the WORST union leader the NHLPA could have hired. He submarined an entire baseball season and cancelled the World Series. THAT is his calling card. He is a wank of the worst variety.

    Rumor has it the players side of the strike will submit up to 4 counter-proposals.

    NHL left the meeting after an hour. Bettman said it was a step backward.

    I'm done with the NHL's tomfoolery. Won't talk about it anymore until a deal is made.

    I do wonder how much the fans have an effect on these issues. Well, by fans I really mean the money that the fans have.

    I'm pretty sure the guys with the big bucks (ESPN, CBS, FOX etc.) leaned on the NFL like crazy to get things done because they were worried about all the money they'd lose.

    The NHL pales in comparision in money, ratings etc so losing (ANOTHER) season won't have the same financial effect on the big boys in the entertainment biz.

    Feel like this the reason why this is happening has a lot to do with the overall popularity of the sport.

    That may be common sense, and I'm certainly not trying to diss the NHL because I absolutely love hockey but just a thought for a Thursday afternoon as I fight to stay awake in my office.

    The best thing for the CAPS may be a loss of the entire season. Let the young kids get some experience in Europe and try again next year...

    DONALD FEHR. His name is in the paper EVERY DAY for a reason. This is how he makes his bones.

    EDIT: Yes, I am angry at the owners for causing this mess in the first place by binge drinking and then assembling their payroll. But for a league with the smallest sport related revenue pool to have a PA saying that the starting point for negotiations is at 57% of the pie, you will lose a season. Why is 57% the starting point? Because that is where the league was last year, and it's the owners fault. But Donald Fehr WILL NOT allow a penny to be lost. He makes more money and a bigger name the longer this work stoppage goes. That is how he wins.
