poetica Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Thanks, theminister. That picture may very well show in my dreams later. And not the good kind, like last season when I dreamed we had a winter classic game against Chicago and beat them 3-1. (Of course, I woke up pissed off that it was my dream and I didn't give Luo a shutout! *lol*) Anyway, Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun NHL/NHLPA meeting with mediators still going on....

Ossi Vaananen Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 .... You crossed a few lines with that one minister... is that a skinned rabbit? I don't want to know. Anyways good to hear the negotiations are still on going, I read that before today's talks even began they were planning to meet tomorrow. It seems like they have each issue planned for a day, we'll see if they make any headway. EDIT: @Real_ESPNLeBrun: NHL-NHLPA meeting with mediators over. Told no progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 don't invite Jeremy Jacobs in it. He will make you pay for his/your and his pet dog Bobo's drinks. Not kidding this guy is a crook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosswolf Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=410527 "The National Hockey League and NHL Players' Association wrapped up two straight days of meetings with federal mediators in Iselin, New Jersey on Thursday trying to spur negotiations towards a new collective bargaining agreement. Sources indicated that no progress was made and that no more meetings with mediators were planned." wheee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 No progress & no scheduled meetings with mediators. Well for frack's shake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I have this vision of going to a hockey game, in a box right beside Bettman and co.'s box. When the camera pans to Bettman and he's sitting within arms reach I imagine dumping a beer right over his bald head. This gives me endless pleasure.

Shift-4 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Not surprised at all. More surprised that it took a second day for 'no progress' statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes, we went down this road in the last lockout as well. Last ditch attempt by removing the gag order for owners to talk to players directly. Shortly afterwards, the season was cancelled. Katie Strang @KatieStrangESPN #CBA According to multiple sources Bettman proposed to D. Fehr a meeting between owners and players only, w/ no league or PA staff present. Katie Strang @KatieStrangESPN #CBA No response yet from NHLPA on Bettman's idea. Fehr and PA considering the option Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger Not all owners would be included in this owner-player meeting. Hasn't been determined. Not sure why either side wouldn't welcome this.

DeNiro Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Bill Daly's not disappointed. Stop spewing bullsh*t! The NHL knew that it wouldn't make any progress before they even started, because they have no intention of actually negotiating any further. This is absolute greed at its finest. I laugh at the idea that these morons are fighting over money that isn't even there anymore. I like to picture it as if they are both in a room with a big pile of money, and a fan that's slowly blowing the money out of the room. And these two sides are focused on trying to grab the money floating around in the air, while their piles are getting smaller and smaller. Bye bye money! Bye bye NHL!

Shift-4 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ What owners????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If *all* owners are at the table, this could be helpful. NHL doesn't get to attend for Phoenix. Maybe if Jamison can expedite buying the team, his vote could tip the scale. If all of the owners aren't invited, then I'm not even going to listen to the BS.

DeNiro Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 So after 3 months of negotiating they finally realize that the problem is Fehr and Bettman? Good job owners, you really know how to run a league. But I don't see what the point of a meeting is if neither side is willing to budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Aside from an owners/players chat I say the over/under for the next meeting should be about 9.5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Maybe the mediators just need some time to look over where each side stands and come up with suggestions or talking points before meeting with them together. (I believe the mediators have only meet with each side individually at this point.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthMelvin Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If the Players met without Fehr they would be LOST lol Do it up Fehr...that way the players can really see past your cloud and see the real losses they are facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 This could get interesting! What if the players get to pick the owners attendance and the owners get to pick the players attendance. Hockey Fight! @walsha word on street is that NHL wants to "hand pick" and "screen" which Players will be allowed to meet with its selected Owners group.
