To be fair, PITB jokes are usually the most obvious ones.

Harrison Mooney absolved all ownership to his content when he made the entire world watch as he danced around in leggings.

Comedy is viral. You can find the same 5000+ Retweeted shit on Twitter everywhere (usually done by shitty parody accounts of celebrities) and the same reposts on Reddit. We here even recycle jokes and use GIFs that are posted everywhere.
The internet sucks.

Daly: "Unfortunately we have determined we are involved with union leadership that has no genuine interest in reaching an agreement. Regardless of what we propose or how we suggest to compromise the answer is 'no' - at one point you have to say enough is enough"
So, that's it then? Can we finally wrap this up?

2 week hiatus?
Yup, I've come to terms with it now, no season.

They'll still be a season, but it'll be a joke of a 40-game one starting in February and I won't be giving a shit anymore.

I think there is 1 chance albeit very very slim. Owners say , no more BS and lets it simmer for two weeks. Now the PA either gets Fehr to the table or Fehr digs in even further.

Fehr wants to lose a season so he can try and turn hockey into baseball starting this summer.

Good luck with that
And the dummy doesn't realize he'll just get less if it goes to open market
You'd have 3 teams that could pay mega bucks for players but in the end it only helps out a handful of players, salaries will drop by the margin owners are looking for... But it dissolves players choice of market.
Salary cap means a player can play in 30 cities and if implemented properly they could earn the same wages wherever they go
On the other hand, no cap means you go to NYR/TOR/MTL and hope they take you... Otherwise you will earn less
The only reason baseball is "stable" is because there is no salary floor. They spend within their means.
Baseball salaries only take up 42% of revenue. In theory, toronto, Montreal and New York can spend less than they are now to remain competitive while other teams start adjusting their salaries in a downwards direction.
It's bad for the fans, it's bad for the owners and its bad for the players.
40-45% GUARANTEED salary cap with teams pooling their salary money is optimal route. Players are guaranteed every percent, any unused money counter-acts escrow and any overages are split with the rest of the players. That way they handle risk like owners, but share in overages.
Fuck if I were a player shouting "it's for the future" I'd do 40%, and have a stipulation that a percentage of owners money should be used for building local rinks and sponsoring high schools... Helping to pay for equipment for families to help grow the game.
Players need to be leaders for once
Sounds like you've been brainwashed!
Or confused, even!

With just a 40 game season there will be SO MANY TEAMS that will have a chance for the cup - it won't be funny.
Knowing Leafs' luck, they'll win the cup and then everyone will shit on it and call it a sham of a season.

IKR... Implying the Leafs have luck :lol
Implying the Leafs have a goalie capable of <3.0 GAA.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Good. Cancel the season.
Eventually the players will fire Fehr and they'll get an agreement signed.

CBA gets done, Luongo becomes a Leaf, gets that last little mile needed to be a SC champion. Bam.
The Cgy SAS game was awesome.I watched a CFL game this past weekend
Cfl games are much more entertaining than NFL IMO. Games often go to the last few seconds to decide a winner.
Maybe if you put two of them in the net at the same time.
we'll dress one as a defenseman
whoever has the better game, gets the equipment in the next

Hockey is coming! Low intensity charity fundraising hockey, but hockey nonetheless (and only for those in a very small area of the US)!
Finally being a degenerate gambler works in my favor! Just yesterday I booked a free room in AC for that night.

This would probably work for Chicago. It's not like their goaltending/defense would be any worse.
