Dolan sucks!!!
From Helene Elliott and Chris Foster
About a dozen influential owners, general managers, players and agents held "serious" discussions Sunday to shape a new labor agreement and save the NHL season but were losing a battle with the clock, a source familiar with the talks said.
The source said the group, whose members he declined to identify, hoped to "construct a framework they can present jointly to the players' association and the league in hope it can get them to sit down and put something together." However, the source said, "they might just find time ran out."
One source said a large contingent of players held a conference call early last week and that Dallas Star forward Bill Guerin, a union vice president and member of its negotiating committee, grew "agitated." Guerin accused other players of caving under owners' pressure to accept a salary cap and said they could have reached a similar deal in September — and then hung up.
Billy,Billy,Billy...What a punk!
Another source said a group of players, frustrated with the stalemate, had called Goodenow on Saturday to express concern about losing the season. "They tried to speak with Bob and say, 'This isn't the road we want to go down,' " the source said.
Goodenow apparently was unmoved

If this thing ends with cancellation,it will be fascinating to see the players reaction because some of them STILL think the NHL will cave and refuse to believe the NHL will pull the plug
