NHL Lockout With Your Cock Out |OT|
- Thread starter Marvie_3
- Start date
What about the owner writing ~20 other similar cheques to players, each ranging from $500k to $7+ million per year. Now that is a dude making a lot of money.
Edit: changed "cutting" to "writing"

The owners are trying to take their freedom.

No sympathy for the players or the owners, only have sympathy for the local businesses and people who depend on there being hockey to have a job
Shit just got real...

Ryan Kesler tests out new shoulder and vigour, slaps Max Lapierre on the ass and harasses Mason Raymond.

MLB players went on strike in 1994 just before the playoffs.

Won't somebody think of the children?!
And it killed the Expos
Also I wish the players would quit this BS of "messing with their livelihood" Don't these buffoons have any money saved? I'm sorry you can't pay your mansion mortgage, or the apparent mountain of groceries you need.

From the former owner and CEO of the Florida Panthers. This is going to be a long, rough ride.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I see absolutely no way the NHL returns without a salary cap. I honestly believe some owners would rather shut the league down.

Well it would be a case of the NHLPA finally agreeing to a 50/50 split but then asking for no salary cap (or a soft cap).
Bettman wants his 50/50 split, but what's he going to give up to get it ?
Negotiations... how do they work?
No salary cap would be fucking terrible. Needs to stay a hard cap too. A soft cap + luxury tax is just as broken as no cap.

This is the guy who fired Keenan to hire Martin. If he says regret take it to mean benefit.
Oh well, who's the next goalie coach now? Not that the organization needs to decide right away.

Reimer will coach and be goalie.
The players have already agreed to the cap again. They call it a major concession even if it's just agreeing to something that was already in place.
I noticed that at these press conferences the players look like slobs. Millionaires in NY and the best they can do is T-shirts and shorts. Gotta make sure these poor, unfortunate, victims don't look rich. The union probably made the rule... no suits allowed.
The latest player video is so obvious. We love the game. We want to play, but the evil owners won't let us. What a load of bull. They're trying real hard to make sure it looks like the lockout is the owner's fault, even though the union refused to negotiate for over a year.

As long as it's not the knees it's OK. Season won't start in 4-6 weeks anyway so no biggie.
Fixed.
Makes me think there should be a GAF Lockout Pool and see who closest predicts when this ends.

All aboard! The Love train!
When there's a settlement or when they're playing again?
I meant Settlement yeah. After a deal is done who knows how long it will take before things get back to normal after a truncated schedule is figured out, etc etc.

Then I'll take December 4.
I thought they'd get in that first NBC game, but I'm not sure now. They'll save the Winter Classic, though.

Everyone is throwing out dates, I was wondering if we'd pony up a few bucks each as well! lol Ah well.
I can't imagine they want to cancel another season, so I don't think it'll go past say... January.. but it's not getting done soon. I'm thinking Late November to avoid dubbedinenglish.
Actually... dammit.. even saying that date seems crazy. Who the fuck nows

Players aren't that dumb to lose an entire season AGAIN only to get the same offer for next year. They'll push back and do their silly PR war but they'll settle before the Winter Classic at the latest.
Both sides are beyond stupid if they lose an entire season because they can't decide how to divide up $1B, players lose $1.8Bn if the season is lost.

Newsflash: the players ARE stupid.
This is what annoys the shit of me when Reimer spews the nonsense(after being brainwashed by Fehr) of continuing to play this season while negotiating the new deal. WTF?!? Why didn't you do that last year?!!?!?
