Fuck the NHLPA.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Good times, not really

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod
Bettman addressing media now... He said all 3 offers were variations of their original offer.

This is beyond stupid

 

[Cake Boss]

A bunch of cunt ass players.

 

[Acid08]

Well alright then, sword is prepared. See ya'll in Valhalla.

 

[Plinko]

Stop pretending like any of you know if this is a good sign or a bad sign.

Lets just wait and see what the word is, then we can fall on our swords.

Oh look, it's a bad sign. Shocking.

 

[DopeyFish]

Bettman says the 3 options were all variants of their original proposal

Wow fuck off NHLPA

 

[blahness]

FUUUCK!

It's like they want to cancel the season.

 

[CrankyJay]

I got all excited for nothing. Oh well, at least there's football and baseball tonight.

The news has never been good with Fehr. Pessimism is warranted.



EDIT: FUCKING SEE!

 

[CrankyJay]

Lebrun reports ... Gary Bettman's initial response to NHLPA proposals ... "I am to say the least totally disappointed." #NHL

 

[Kave_Man]

My body has been prepared to miss a season and a half.

I won't be phased by any of this until my timeline passes.

 

[BigJonsson]

Alright leafs-gaf, let's go down there and throw waffles

 

[Kifimbo]

Bettman leaving Toronto. It's over.

 

[CrankyJay]

What motivation or incentive does the NHL have to come back to the table at this point? lol

 

[gcubed]

welp, here comes another check in the mail in November

 

[ZeroGravity]

What motivation or incentive does the NHL have to come back to the table at this point? lol

None really, if the other side isn't prepared to move or offer concessions at all.

 

[Revenant]

welp, back to dishonored.

 

[CrankyJay]

None really, if the other side isn't prepared to move or offer concessions at all.

Exactly...was kind of a rhetorical question on my part. /sigh

 

[DopeyFish]

Bring in the scabs pls

 

[Plinko]

Bettman leaving Toronto. It's over.

Yep. Goodbye, season.

Dan Rosen ‏@drosennhl
Bettman says it takes time and a lot of money to put on winter classic and they can't commit millions of dollars without a deal.

Bye bye Winter Classic

 

[CrankyJay]

The players don't want to split 50-50? What? lol

 

[CyReN]

Yep. Goodbye, season.

Well at least we got the Lions and Tigers..

 

[Stet]

fuck everything

 

[Acid08]

Could be a tactic? Bettman making a big stink and storming out might scare the players into actually bringing a good offer to the table?

I'm trying to find any reason to believe there will be hockey

 

[Plinko]

Well at least we got the Lions and Tigers..

Tigers = fun to watch

Lions = infuriating to watch

It evens out ;p

 

[Revenant]

Cunts, Cunts Everywhere.

Tigers = fun to watch

Lions = infuriating to watch

It evens out ;p

if MNF is like last years then we are all in for suffering this monday.

 

[Pikma]

WTF? Everything is lost now, isn't?

 

[DopeyFish]

Bettman says the PA proposal in year 1 was potentially higher than 57%

Way to "fix" the system dirtbags

 

[apocalidiot]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[KingHenrik30]

These moron players. They lose a season and they'll be making even less in the future. NHL certainly won the PR War though.

 

[Surge]

I never had my hopes real high to begin with.

News of more cancellations should be coming in a few days now.

I didn't believe it at first

LOL

Michael Grange ‏@michaelgrange
Only detail Bettman provided was that the player's proposal included an increased share of HRR in year 1 ...

They want MORE money ? LOL

 

[CrankyJay]

LOL yeah, that's the sad part about all of this

 

[Cake Boss]

I wish I was there in that negation table, I would have got on the table,whipp out my cock and pissed on the documents.

 

[Kifimbo]

Fugly it is. McKenzie was right.

 

[Osorio]

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Fugly it is. McKenzie was right.

Indeed.

 

[Revenant]

hope is not lost yet. BELIEVE

 

[gcubed]

hope is not lost yet. BELIEVE

lost

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I imagine Bettman did that with the 4 proposals.

 

[Socreges]

How do the negotiations recover from this? Fehr is not the kind of guy to swallow his pride and come back with apologies and actual concessions.

Season is officially done.

=(

I feel bad for fans and businesses that depend on this. Sports bars, restaurants, hotels, concessions workers. Awful.

 

[Osorio]

I now have the Knicks and Red Bulls to soothe my pains

LOL

 

[CCF23]

 

[yankeehater]

If Bruce hadn't guaranteed a full season I would be worried now. It is amazing that they asked for a raise.

The only hope now is the players would have to come to their senses and fire Fehr.

Where's Trevor Linden when you need him ?
