This is the most cautious I have ever seen Don Fehr. No rhetoric,no malice,no history lesson. Just sayin'. #tickticktick
My friends and I have said this is what is going to need to happen. Owners of teams like the Leafs, Habs, Canucks, Rangers, Wings, will need to start speaking up. Can't let Gary, Jacobs, and the rest of the BOG just do what THEY want. Same for the players.
Too bad these owners didn't do so in July.

Honestly, I'd love to see someone throw a shoe at him like that reporter did to George Bush.
Wow. Calling a media scrum prior in order to regurgitate this dribble makes me think he's a complete idiot who just likes being on TV. It does absolutely nothing to help the process nor does it promote his or the players cause.Renaud P Lavoie @RenLavoieRDS
Don Fehr:"the meeting today is about the issues that divide us."
I'm still shocked Campoli is a rep. Seriously, how does he even HAVE a team to be a rep for??
Damn right we will, what else can we do but get frustrated.You don't HAVE to watch or read about it.
Some of you guys will complain about anything.
So he pretty much said what everyone already knows. Thanks for another history lesson Don. Just be quiet and let your little brother do all the negotiating please. At least he gets the "keep quiet" aspect of this thing.

Just let the adults speak and sort it out. Forget about letting the players feel involved. Drop them off at daycare on the way
The unemployed Darche represents the Habs. Like a CBA will get those guys new contracts...
There are a lot of people here who are missing the point. This press conference was meaningless. And that means everything. Sounds like his game plan was to put on an "optimistic" face to give the impression that they're looking for progress, so that when things go downhill, he can come out saying, "Well, you guys know I tried, right?" Everyone saying they don't understand the pessimism is falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
The jealousy is palpable.
Jealous of what? I currently bring in more income as a part time retail employee than the NHL players are making right now.
*humour(attempt) alert*
Insider info coming out suggests that the two sides ordered pizza, but after an original order with pepperoni, pepperoni was removed from the final order*
So the question, who caved?
On a more on topic note-I personally think that Fehr should start a gag order on players to progress things smoothly-seems whenever a player tweets something, things go south once it hits the media. Both sides just quiet and focus on the issues.
I don't understand why some fans think both sides are equally responsible. Fehr is trying to make the lockout as long as possible.
