That would be a decertification. They're slightly different legally, but this is generally the point. Decert is supposed to show the members don't want the representation, whereas DOI is allowing a union that they elected to voluntarily leave for some reason without fault.

*shrugs*

Who knows, then?

The vote won't matter anyway. It'll pass. Only way DoI will be filed is if the negotiations go off the rails so badly that a deal isn't going to get done anyway.

Is there anyone that's actually salty? I've just been having fun with it. It distracts me from the reality of this soul crushing lockout.

I hope not. We still have another week of this crap before it's over.

 

[Red_Man]

The deadline pushes them together, not apart.

Yep, Fehr's taking this until the last second. It's why he was brought in.

Pre season lack of salt saltiness

Wasn't there a vote last night by the Exec committee to authorize Fehr to decide whether or not to file DoI though?

Players had filed a DOI a while back, which gave the exec committee authority. It was a delegation of the power they were already delegated by the players.

What if the "deadline" passes and nothing happens? how sure are we Bettman is gonna pull the trigger?

*looks on the last page* Haven't you been egging on the antagonism? :lol And a couple days ago when you posted about the tribalism in the generalizations, literally your next post was a generalization about Hopers. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be ironic at the time.

Team Hope needs to only look at the NFL and NBA lockouts to see a season is more likely than not.

Anyway, I'm down for any CBA/avatar bets. I think Solo already agreed to be banned for a decade if there's a CBA agreement this month, lol.

Team Nope needs to look at Fehr's history to see a lost season is more likely than not.

@DarrenDreger
Players voted yesterday to give Don Fehr full authority to decide on Disclaimer last night. Obviously D.Fehr decided against it.

Ah, also makes sense. Though I'm surprised they organized a union wide vote last night.

I believe Fehr was involved in 7 MLB negotiations. In those, there were 5 work stoppages and 1 cancelled season.

 

[MetatronM]

I'm still riding the Team Nope train (not that I've been posting in here much). But that's only because at this point I'd be happy to get my season ticket money back and put it towards a vacation or something, haha.

I guess the consolation prize if Hope prevails wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

It's like both sides don't want to be the one that says, "We accept the terms of your offer."

 

[Mike Works]

So the NHL caused the whole day to be wasted because they wanted weaker penalties for hiding HRR.

Awesome.

No, haven't you been reading this thread?

Player told me "PA still feels NHL is purposely hiding money & that we've let all players know about it." This will take a little longer.

Players have turned into conspiracy nuts

NHL players = Fox New viewers

Both delusional and poorly educated. Makes sense to me.

The PA's interest in good faith negotiations went out the door the minute they hired Fehr.

That quote about "hidden money" is hilarious. Fehr using dirty tactics in negotiation? I'm shocked!

It's clearly the PA being conspiracy nuts, delusional, and using dirty tactics!

Gary Bettman would never do anything underhanded! He's a saint!

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

That's why there was talk last week of having Center Ice for free, to hide it from the players.

Yeah, I'm having fun with it. Have been since the beginning. You seem to be taking bit pretty seriously tho.

Bettman did a wave of his hand and found it behind Crosby's ear. Crosby still in shock.

Extremely seriously.

Nah, I'm nervous we won't get hockey this year and that's probably making me come across a bit stronger than intended.

LOL, how about looking at the last 2 NHL CBA "negotiations" instead?

People saying "they won't be so stupid as to lose the entire season!" - congrats on picking up hockey in 2005 or later.

I didn't know LeBrun has only been watching hockey for 7 years, he's pretty convincing at what he does.

So apparently the tone from the NHL changed once the deadline for the disclaimer of interest passed and that is why the NHLPA is bringing it back again.

He's a saint!

People misuse this phrase so often these days. It's 'He's an angel!' - since you were implying impeccability. A saint has never ever been considered without sin or beyond reproach.

Also, people tweet stupid shit all the time. Twitter is a trap for some journalists.

Watch NHL and NHLPA reach an agreement

Then NHLPA files for DOI in an attempt to make bettman look like the bad guy when he's forced to cancel the season

I just won my fantasy football league with my friends this week. I'm not touching a dime of my winnings until the 11th. If they get this together I'm betting it all on the first Flyers game.

Look into props betting like First period Over 1.5 goals. I've been making a killing with this prop over the years. 5Dimes.com has it if you're interested.

Thanks. I'll look into it. I was thinking about it today and was somewhat scared of getting a really shitty spread on the first game of the season that would actually make the game less enjoyable.

I've never been a huge sports gambler. I really love horse racing and table games, but I've never done a ton of sports betting aside from standard spread bets on hockey games and your standard NFL betting.
