The NHL and NHL Players' Association ended yet another long session of bargaining talks Wednesday and decided to schedule another meeting for Thursday.

I doubt if there gonna do anything. If they didn't do nothing today then tommorow they will be posing for animal-crackers.

I guess NHL & NHLPA suits will discuss more World Cup - the tournament they are organizing together (!!!)- than the "real thing"...

[Veca]

I'm sure they WILL be busy......

I Estonia there is saying: Much noise, little whool...

It describes current negotiations. Too many press conferences by both sides blaming the other...

It should be like Pope election: guys are locked into the room and won't be let out until they have done their job!!!

gosh, I love the smilies.....I have to agree with you Ahti about locking both sides in a room till they come to an agreement.

Better yet, lock them in a room with Veca till they reach an agreement, bet they would come up with something real quick THEN......

The animal crackers thing's a great idea actually.

Does anyone know if the players have made a proposal? I know the owners have, but have the players? What's their proposal? Or are they just saying no to everything?

Do you mean other than their original proposal of luxury tax, 5% salary cut, etc. ... which they have since rescinded??

[Veca]

the big stopping point seems to be the word "CAP"....the players won't hear anything with that word in a proposal! Period!
So damn mature...and NO!!! The players have not made any proposals from what I've heard and it's starting to tick off some of the hockey insiders!!!
