Honest question: Did the players delink again in the last proposal when the owners got all pissy and took their ball home? My understanding was they didn't.

I still don't get why Crosby is attending the meetings.
He is the Golden Child. He almost rescued the season 2 weeks ago. Don't doubt the Crosby.
Well he is obviously the perfect representation of your average player and is well educated in the business world...

They've never "fully" linked to begin with. All of their proposals in some way,shape of form have given them guaranteed money, regardless of NHL revenues.
aka if league revenues go up, their $$ go up, if league revenues go down, their $$ does not.
I've argued on HFB that Fehr's plan is to damage the NHL while ensuring the players get their salaries guaranteed (or mostly guaranteed). If the owners take a huge loss from this lockout but the players keep their money this would greatly discourage future lockouts and give the players more leverage in future negotiations (so they could remove the cap or at least poke lots of holes in it).
This is about power, Fehr wants the NHLPA to be like MLBPA.
Of course it goes both ways, the NHL would like to beat the NHLPA into the dirt and have them roll over every time the CBA comes up for renewal.
Oh yes, it can.

Apparently the current player's vote has 3 options:

2) Take last offer
3) Decertify

5.) Take 140% worse offer next January.
Fehr supposedly was not a fan of the NHLPA taking a deal in July before.

Happy to hear it. I'll check it out in January at some point.
If you enjoyed LOTR you should love it. I don't understand where all the criticism is coming from.
I don't get it either. It was fun and entertaining. I feel like critics are make too big a deal about the book being pretty thin, and PJ basically breaking it apart into 3 movies.
I'm still keen on watching the HFR version sometime soon. I'm hoping my theatre doesn't take it out before next week.
Let's hope so.
Yup. I have no idea how I feel anymore given how low both sides have gone. Pathetic.
Not sure whether or not I'm on Team Hope or Nope. I choose to stay neutral and be on Team Dope.
Why rush back to a 48 game joke of a season filled with injuries and sloppy hockey for half of that season?
Take the year off, get rid of some of teams and come back with a better product.
I can't deny I want the NHL back. I love hockey as we all do here, but it's hard to cheer for any of the potential on ice product given what the players/owners are putting the fans through.
edit: @cube444 .... ehhhh, I don't mind a shortened season really, certainly makes every game much more important, but yes, I'm on side nope just as much to end the season and let them figure it all out eventually.
This will never fucking happen, Forza.

The NHL is never, never ever ever, going to contract and drop to 28 or 26 teams. I don't know why people assume that's even a possibility.
Not that I'm in the camp of the league contracting, but there were people saying Winnipeg would never get an NHL team back anytime soon, but it happened all of a sudden. I was certainly in that camp.
I didn't expect it to be the Thrashers, though. You guys remember the Thrashers?
Weren't they a wrestling tag team in the 80s?
Don't think it's been posted yet but here's TSN's broadcasting schedule for the World Juniors:

Nah, it's Heatley's nickname for his Ferrari.
Does anyone know a good way to view the games while overseas? One of those random streaming sites I guess?
I'm assuming there will be quite a few streams up, especially with it being in Russia. Timing of the games sucks as, but excited to have 3 big prospects to watch on 3 different teams.

That's what you get for having a President's Trophy winning team loser! Sub .500 seasons are where it's at.I have zero prospects to watch on zero teams.

Nicklas Jensen would have easily qualified for the world juniors. The problem is that his team can't qualify at all.
Gaunce and Corrado would've both made it onto Team Canada if it weren't for the lock out either.
I'm happy with our pool considering our garbage picks.
Habs fan's would have had 4 prospects to watch, if team France wasn't garbage. Lockout definitely fucked over some prospects, but it will be nice if they can get gold back.
Who do you cheer for Smiley seeing as you're a turncoat, and racist?

First Switzerland, then Canada. Given that they're in 2 different groups, it shouldn't create too much friction. If they play each other, I cheer for Switzerland.
Esp given I have no Canucks prospects to cheer for...
On another note: I have tickets for a Davos-x game at the Spengler Cup, with x being Canada if they lose their first group game. So I'll actually be actively cheering for Canada to lose their first game, so I get to see them play Davos. Aka Nash/Thornton vs Team Canada.

He's a very good defensive center that can put up points. Team Canada loves role players and he fills a bottom six shutdown or 13th specialist role perfectly. Plus, the fact that he can play any forward positions would've helped his case a lot.
He would've gotten an invite if he didn't injure his shoulder and threw off his season.
