NHL Lockout With Your Cock Out |OT|
- Thread starter Marvie_3
- Start date
The reporters are probably in hive mind mode.
"This guy says a deal is close! I should too! Let's be optimistic!"
"Hey, if those two sources are optimistic, I gotta get on that train too."
"I don't wanna look like an idiot by missing this story, so I'll say something hopeful too. At least if we're wrong, we're all wrong."
Modern sports journalism: BS on a platter.

I don't consider anyone credible. Not even Lebrun.
Their sources are just strategically feeding them bits and pieces of information for bargaining and public image purposes. I wouldn't take anything said by these "insiders" completely seriously, and I wouldn't be surprised if most of the issues they've been ranting on during their tv spots (ie Doug McLean regarding pensions) were never serious ones.

"There are 8 players in total's meetings, per the NHLPA: Campoli, Darche, Doan, A. Ference, Hainsey, Mayers, Parros & St. Louis"
I love how two scrubs who won't play again (Darche & Campoli) have been so heavily involved in this entire process.

Darche is one of the few educated hockey players so it makes sense to have at least one person with a brain there.

Fucking yes. Just get this done.
Not was I was implying. Darche may just be there because he knows what more of the big words mean and can explain them to the other chuckleheads.

Deal will be done by tomorrow night. Realignment will occur in the 2013-2014 season. Will be a 10 year CBA with opt out after 8.

Fehr just made a huge BM all over the floor.
I still think this gets done tonight.
Pension done
Cap moved to 64M
Variance at 30%
10 year CBA agreed
There is nothing left except for contract length.
Deal in principal would be nice. Announce it so team HOPE can claim glorious victory.

Of course it is different, I don´t expect anyone to feel bad for the players. But valuing the success in the players negotiations simply by how much they get in their own pocket can be transferred over to both situations. And if you indeed value every labour dispute like that, unions will forever be doomed.
Another thing that I guess is irrelevant for how much the workers get paid is the complete and disgusting disdain for people of lower education. Being less educated is something that is frowned upon, and somehow that fact makes the players stupid. And since it makes them stupid they don´t deserve help(from lawyers etc) in the negotiations with the owners(who are much more well versed in situations like this).
The same thing is confusing me as usual, I always have a hard time to understand what liberal means in American politics. The "liberals" I see in US politics tend to be the ones who are supporting health care for everyone etc, so I usually don´t see them an free market supporters.:S I am simply thinking that the left wing in the US is more like a European left wing.
I completely agree with the second part, a union have to work for the overall needs of its members and not just higher salaries.

I don't think the phrase 'still lots of work to do' as ever been tweeted as much before. It's become a disclaimer.
Has anyone else read the stuff about the Leafs being, ahem, well-positioned for the new CBA universe? I know it's just bored journos playing to the league's largest and most desperate fanbase, but I want to believe it's true!
IMO, the Sens are probably on the verge of another solid 5-6 span around the top of the East. Dammit.
Clearly more evidence against the PA's negotiation strategy.
Hainsey and Mayers too.

Every reasonable person hates the NHLPA...

This.
You can be a fan and still be angry and think this whole thing is ridiculous. I don't want them to save the season if we're going to go through the same garbage in 10 years.
