*You're* the one claiming
the law prohibits striking during a CBA, you provide the legal cite.
Nothing here about a strike being illegal because a contract is signed:

That contract language backs my argument. Why does the CBA spell out there can't be any work stoppages during the CBA, if it's against the law? The CBA doesn't need to point out it's illegal to kill a player, does it? No, it doesn't need to point it out, because the laws of the land already make it so. The CBA lays out things that aren't laws, things the two sides are agreeing to. In fact, the CBA lays out things they agree to that would *otherwise* be against the law (draft, etc).
And drop the personal insults. It gets so tiring with you PA supporters, you can't have a debate without you guys going off into insults. I never insulted you, return the favour. If I'm wrong, prove it, and I'll gladly admit it.
Both sides agreed to play the year under the old CBA. That's extending it. If legally, all the terms and conditions of the CBA are in effect, then there's a CBA. Otherwise, the NHL would have been in violation of a ton of anti-trust laws.
