The NHL and NHL Players' Association ended 20 hours of talks over three days Thursday, seemingly as far apart as ever in their labour impasse.

hmm.gif I agree with you Jason, I think the dunder heads are what has caused the trouble to begin with. We need fresh faces and minds at the head of the NHL AND the NHLPA.......
Then we can get things going and KEEP things rolling along at a better clip!!! These guys are just bad news... dry.gif dry.gif

This problem was created by the owners. And now its being worsend by the players.
Point (1) The owners start throwing around big money that the Leagues television contracts can't cover.
(2) The everybody wants some syndrome. He got his I want mine.
(3) O.K. i'll give you an outrageously stupid contract.
(4) Boo Hoo were in financial dire staights.
(5) Too bad you set the contract status.
(6) The League might fold unless we have financial constrants i.e. Salary cap.
(7) Open up your books.
(8) Believe us.
(9) Your shortchanging. i.e. Cooking the books in your favor.
Put Owners/Players in points section.

(10) Are League is already screwed up & has a limited fan base. So screw the fans.

In a nutshell. crybaby.gif bye2.gif
