Well, I think as hockey fans we can both agree that when this thing finally ends (officially), we'll all be smiling.OTTSENS said:Patience my friends is coming.

JayPSU said:The problem is that now all the PC quotes and news for the newspapers will be on a weekend which is bad for spreading word around. Another STUPID move by the morons of the NHL.
Cloned said:To be honest I don't know where the Irbe stuff is coming from either.
Can I get a link to the report? I'd be interested in seeing its sourcing.missK said:There have been reports that Irbe and Goodenow are trying to lobby players for NO votes and were for pushing out the vote date.

I'd be interested in a link as well. It's not that I don't trust missK; I just haven't seen anything that points to Irbe or Goodenow specifically trying to push the date back.Kritter471 said:Can I get a link to the report? I'd be interested in seeing its sourcing.
Other than that, the article makes clear that the BOG vote is what was pushed to Friday, not anything on the NHLPA side....

At one point, in a caucus among the executive committee and the union leadership, a vote was taken. Everyone was asked if he believed the players could get a better deal by waiting until the following winter. Of the eight people in the room, six said the deal would not get any better. Only Goodenow and Artus Irbe, a veteran player on the verge of retirement, voted to wait.

Montrealer said:You're right - they should definately announce everything on Thursday before the NHLPA has counted the votes.
Spongebob said:Hey isn't the voting aspect of this deal just a formality anyway.
Does anybody really think this thing will get voted down?

jadeddog said:yup, these guys dont do anything fast do they? i work on friday so i might not be able to watch it live.... this sucks
NJD Jester said:Bingo. Saturday newspaper circulation is pathetic, and now the draft lottery -- which has the chance to be a huge media event, but one that the league is strangely squandering -- will be gobbled up by weekend baseball, golf, and racing news.
Ah, the NEW NHL...
