Fuck off, Campoli.

Being told that, as part of a counter proposal, NHLPA will try to make future expansion and relocation fees part of hockey related revenue.

Another day, another victory for Team Nope.

Dat Ovechkin gene pool;

Mom (Professional basketball player) + Dad (Professional soccer player) = Hockey star son

Ovi (Professional hockey player) + Kirilenko (Professional tennis player) = ?

 

[KernelPanic]

Scene outside the offices lol

And they brought DiPietro into that ?

Might as well call the ambulance now, it'll take them time to get there.

Nice catch.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Campolli cracks me up. He should be more worried about another leagues CBA rather than a league's that he's not gonna play in.

Just told NHLPA never considered or even discussed asking owners for a share of future expansion or relocation money.

False alarm?

THN being a shit publication as usual?

 

[Sanjuro]

The lockout won't end until Steve Burton has at least two more false predictions.

Heh.

Lots of contradictions in the media.. hard to tell what's what..

NHL now meeting internally with the NHLPA proposal

 

[Socreges]

Lots of contradictions in the media.. hard to tell what's what..

Yet people here continue to react to tweets as if they're necessarily true! Every time!

 

[Merguson]

Kypreos reports that there isn't any major changes in the NHLPA proposal. A few tweaks.

HOPEIUM?

Until the next media member reports that the NHLPA changed everything, of course.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I guess it really depends on what areas were "tweaked".

I for one, am shocked that Nick-the biggest PA homer in the world-Kypreos is saying the PA's response is just "minor tweaks".

Crows are going to go extinct when this is all finished.

 

[Freyjadour]

John Shannon ‏@JSportsnet
Can also confirm that PA has not requested any changes to HRR.

 

[DopeyFish]

Last time kypreos said there was no major chances was also the one NHLPA offer that could swing to 90+% HRR

 

[Freyjadour]

Feel that hope rising

Spoiler

only to be crushed in a few hours.

 

[Cake Boss]

Kyprios says PA offer is gud, lulz no.

 

[BigJonsson]

Hmmm, US going over fiscal cliff and NHL/PA not throwing feces at each other

Happy New Year!


Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin

Sounds like fiscal cliff talks closer to resolution than NHL discussions. Which, when u think about it, is unbelievably hilarious.

 

[Stasis]

Leaving to go eat a delicious gigantic steak at the in-laws. Later meeting up with some great old buddies I haven't seen in a while.

Everything just feels good. Need a fucking deal or some positive vibes in this negotiation to round it out! Happy New Year NHL-gaf. I'm new here, but I still love you.

Spoiler

Still firmly planted in Team Nope. I'm not a defector.

 

[Plinko]

I've decided that if they make a deal today we should still get a Winter Classic tomorrow. Get a bunch of players together playing pond hockey. Something.

Think about it. Israelis and Palestinians, Republicans and Democrats got deals done before NHL and the PA.

 

[Smiley90]

Think about it. Israelis and Palestinians, Republicans and Democrats got deals done before NHL and the PA.

To be fair, they've had a few months to talk about those. It's not like the NHLPA could have just started negotiating earlier... ohwait.

I have a pickup game tomorrow if that counts?

 

[Merguson]

#NHL and #NHLPA are back in the same room after league reviewed offer.

NHL preparing to deliver a flurry of NOPE.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

NOPE

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Rick DiPietro?

You can represent the players if you don't play?

 

[Cake Boss]

PA takes 2 days to review proposal, NHL takes 20 minutes.

Its probably because the proposal is a giant turd.

 

[Plinko]

Rick DiPietro?

Probably there to be the consultant for workman's compensation.

 

[BigJonsson]

Or there weren't many big changes to look over


But nope

 

[BigJonsson]

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger

Not purposely silent, there's just nothing to report. NHL replied "working" when asked for update. Good sign? Some will speculate. I won't.


Now others tweeting the talks are done, NHLPA left

 

[DopeyFish]

Sounds bad to me

 

[BigJonsson]

Fehr talking

Won't talk about specifics
Says they expect to hear from NHL tomorrow

 

[DopeyFish]

Fehr talking

All he is... Is talk

From a league source in the meetings, "we still have a ways to go.". #sportsnet #lockout2012

 

[Cake Boss]

They should have cock fights to determine the last couple of issues, broadcast them on CenterIce to win back fans.

LOL

So the league makes concessions in nearly every area and the PA still wants more. Screw them.
