Phightins Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Of course the one to have the accurate information about the lock-out is a Boston sports reporter. No surprises here. Kypreos isn't a Boston reporter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Looks like this is going off the rails again. What a god damn soap opera. This is why I said I'd remain skeptical until games are being played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 @Real_ESPNLeBrun Fehr says right now it doesn't appear labor impasse will be resolved soon i'm going to [expletive]ing lose it. This is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 The owners are trying their best to get rid of Fehr. Meh, still think this gets resolved sooner than later. Owners need some time to cool down, and players just need another week at the most to overthrow Fehr, who is a total jackass who clearly isn't taking the owners seriously at all. Fehr said himself they are (or were) on the same page for money... we're at contract lengths and CBA length at this point... I don't see the season getting thrown away by that shit... considering contract lengths affect maybe 5% of the players in the league, and the CBA being longer should help players, seeing as they will just be forced to concede more shit 6 years from now.

Phightins Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) The way Fehr deliberately held that press conference to get the hopes of fans up, only to crush them about 15 minutes later, was disgraceful. Some players are saying Fehr told them to hold out, even though they were ready to accept a deal. I can understand this, but this means he knew the situation was not nearly as positive as he led on in that first presser. I know Bettman is the easy target in all of this (and deservedly so), but wow. Everyone involved should be ashamed.

Check my Stats Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 If this went to a vote it would pass, I am almost certain of that. It seems that the things they are fighting for affect the 5%ers. Not that I'm saying this is right (the 20/80 rule... those guys at the top are the ones making the money). But if it is true, that CBA duration and contract term limits are the major hurdles, and we lose a season over this, that's just [expletive]ed up. That's why I think Fehr gets overthrown before a season is lost over this shit. Bettman is mad, and says that shit is off the table, but if the PA comes back tomorrow working off their offers (lets say they accept 10 year CBA and then 6 year term limit for FA's and 10% year to year changes) you're telling me Bettman still says "sorry make whole is still off the table"? No way. I'd say they are too close for a season to be lost, but I wouldn't put anything past these two (Bettman and Fehr). It has pretty much turned into a pissing contest it seems. It sucks as a fan. If they aren't talking by the weekend, then I'll be worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Also, I'd love to see something like UFA's get a 6 year limit from all teams, except their own team gets 7-8 years. This is a win-win for both sides IMO. League helps small markets retain stars, and PA gets longer contract length that they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren2ThaG Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hockey is coming back The NHL and its Players Association have reached a tentative ten year deal.Finally! The last major stumbling block was the salary cap in the second season of the deal and the NHL agreed to move it to $64.3 million to satisfy the players association. "We have reached an agreement on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed to reporters early Sunday morning. "I want to thank Don Fehr. We still have more work to do, but it's good to be at this point." The players must ratify the deal but that should be a formality. The season should start by January 19 but could begin as early as the 15th. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=412844 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
