Why would sportsnet contradict itself with this 8-year-deal crap and now the citation that the lock is long from over?copperandblue said:YEah and counter that with what they're reporting now;
The consensus reached on an NHLPA conference call may suggest the lockout battle is far from over. A source told Sportsnet the players are as resolute as ever on avoiding a salary cap.
"There's no change in our position," the source explained to Sportsnet.
Interestingly enough, another source within the NHL said the league's stance on cost certainty remains unchanged as well.

If we believe the lock isnt over, we're supposed to be more surprised when it does end this weekend.
