If they'd realized it earlier, they wouldn't have lost $610m(and counting) in salaries so far.

And quickly approaching $1.8 billion

NHL didn't actually put its proposal back on table. Mediator asked the players would they accept it, if the league did put it back on table.

Call in mediators, they don't take your side. lololololololol


NOPE

LOL--this is fantastic. The players are going to slowly turn on Fehr, and it's going to be amazing.

You guys have been saying that for weeks/months.

 

[Red_Man]

Posturing. A deal will get done here.

Team Hope has forza / Manics how can we lose?

Play this when you go to sleep. I'll have an avatar waiting for you tomorrow morning.

Just add NHL stuff when appropriate =)

 

[Merguson]

First cut for the WJCs go to Adam Pelech.

Second cut: Tyler Graovac

 

[DopeyFish]

Just did a look see at MLB vs NHL... 1993 to 2012

MLB revenue in 1993 was $1.8 billion... Today $7.5 billion... Over 4x increase

NHL revenue in 1993 was $400 million... Today $3.3 billion... Over 8x increase

MLB average salary in 1993 was $1.1 million... Today $3.4 million... Basically a 3x increase

NHL average salary in 1993 was $400k.... Today $2.45 million... Basically a 6x increase

ITS THE FUCKING SAME INCREASE*

"Look at what fehr did for baseball players!"



*but in baseball, the average salary is skewed towards the top earners

Well these aren't exactly the brightest people in the world.....

I won't use it.

“@MattBarnaby3636: I think at some point players demand a vote and it passes. League goes right over Fehr to get deal they want.” Ur a tool

Hahaha

Plinko's no Alfred Einstein, sure.

 

[Marvie_3]

Plinko's no Albert Einstein, sure.

Yeah there's no way Einstein would be calling for bigger nets in hockey.

 

[FOOTE]

Get your shit together, NHL. I'm already starting to (kind of) listen to NBA games on the TV in my room. Soon I might start watching them.

It's a much better sport than hockey anyway.

Spoiler

No it isn't.

 

[Socreges]

Cuts:

Pelech, Graovac, Pouliot, Monahan, Beauvillier

So far, so good.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Barnaby should tell Turco that he should probably pay more attention to the austrian league CBA rather than the CBA of a league he'll never play in.

 

[SpectreFire]

How did Dumba not get cut?

He's been awful.

 

[Plinko]

Yeah there's no way Einstein would be calling for bigger nets in hockey.

:lol

Decreasing goalie equipment size was the main focus of that argument. Increasing net size was a last resort.

 

[Plinko]

Plinko's no Alfred Einstein, sure.

Well crafted.

 

[ATF487]

Might have to attend an AHL game soon, sick of this no hockey business. Wish Providence/Worcester had some week day home games in the schedule, I have nearly two weeks off of work around the holidays and want a lonely man outing on a non-weekend. May have to go to Manchester!!!11

Don't spoil my fun.

 

[Montresor]

Kave_Man can you link the TSN article you were talking about earlier. For a second I thought you were trying to say Rielly was cut from the Junior team.

I want to read the salt from those fellas.

 

[Cake Boss]

How did Dumba not get cut?

He's been awful.

.

Surprised at Monahan cut.

 

[CCF23]

Corrado made it through the first round of cuts. Fuck yeah! Fifth round pick showing first rounders what's up.

Fuck yeah player meltdown on twitter time.

 

[apocalidiot]

So you're joining the NOPEtrain?

I mean I still hope there's a season but I'm not going to get jerked around with optimistic reports that will end up being BS. Does team NOPE think there won't be a season? I don't get it. Does team NOPE still hope theres a season? I'M SO CONFUSED

 

[Freyjadour]

@mturco35

“@tonyrask1: @mturco35 Apparently Marty Turco is still alive. That's....sad.” F you

GF's coworker has a half-sister that dated Turco years ago. Said he pulled the "don't you know who I am" card everywhere and was a major douche.

Wants hockey but consigned to the fact that there wont be a season

 

[apocalidiot]

I see. I still think there could be a season... I have a hard time thinking that both sides won't come to an agreement since they're this close.

That said, I won't be surprised if it does in fact get cancelled.

So I guess I am under team HOPE

 

[Plinko]

Don't spoil my fun.

Nothing is going to be more fun than watching the upcoming cavalcade of player stupidity that's on the horizon if no deal is made.

Stand strong, brother, and Hope-ify your avatar!!!

 

[Socreges]

Yeah. Noun Hope, not Verb Hope. Subject Dope.

AND HERE COMES IVY LEAGUE GRAD DOUGLAS MURRAY WITH A CLUTCH MOVE FOR TEAM HOPE:

David Pollak ‏@PollakOnSharks
#Sjshark DMurray back in NYC for today's meetings: “I believe we’re very close right now and I think the deal should be able to get... (1/2)

David Pollak ‏@PollakOnSharks
"...done from the circumstances we’re in right now. But it’s not done and it’s frustrating.” (2/2)

Also he may or may not have tapped Tiger's ex:

Finally, #Sjshark DMurray on NYDN report of Fla. dinner with Tiger's ex: “When friends are in the same area, they sometimes have dinner.”

Just sounds like more of the same bullshit to me.
I think I'm done with the word "Close". Just gonna take it out of my vocabulary.

 

[Socreges]

I feel like when someone has a degree in Hotel Administration from Cornell, calling them an Ivy League grad is somehow disingenuous.

No one manages a hotel quite like an Ivy Leaguer.

Seems like a whole bunch of NOPE today.

This thread is a nopium den.

You are our oracle.

Hotel administration is the future. After the NHL shuts down and the rest of these players crawl into the gutter, Douglas Murray will stand tall as he runs the best "Courtyard by Marriott" in the country.

Elin Nordegren gets wet as fuck at the thought.

 

[Red_Man]

Hotel Administration? Yea, that's embarrassing calling yourself an Ivy League Grad

"You work at Nasa?!"
"Yea, it's awesome!"
"What do you do?"
"I empty the garbage cans, and sweep the floor"
"Oh......"

 

[Quick]

Red Man, please. He'd be the head custodian at least.

Nobody is going to want to stay at a hotel run by a guy that looks like a serial killer.

He looks like the human version of a ninja turtle

It's pumped full of HOPE.
