Meetings broke up. Fehr went straight to the phones to update NHLPA via conf call. Bettman will speak to media in 5 minutes.

I'm not worried really, especially after that upbeat interview last night

 

[Moe Szyslak]

what a rollercoaster this lockout is.

 

[Cashville]

Yeah, definitely not good news and I never got that vibe all through today. Bettman presser is going to likely make my alcohol consumption go up materially tonight.

Does anyone want to guess what Gary's going to say. Will the words "very disappointed" be in the first sentence?

 

[GoGoGrabo]

I feel like I'm on crazy pills


5 minutes ago, they were running to make calls and would talk tonight or tomorrow.

3 minutes ago, talks broke off and the season is in the S*&tter

 

[KaseMeOutside]

If Bettmans tone is negative we're in deep **** folks!

The NHL hasn't been happy with the way these talks have been progressing. Wouldn't be surprised if Bettman issued an ultimatum.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Right now plan is for NHL and NHLPA not to meet again tonight, but perhaps reconvene tomorrow. However, told that could possibly change

All is not lost

Ted Leonsis, Craig Leipold and Jeremy Jacobs just left the building with suitcases.

They need to livestream the negotiations process.

I think it would be quite entertaining to watch.

That would get more ratings than cup finals game 7

If there is no light at the end of the tunnel it's a hole.

It could even be a very short tunnel... at night.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Oh boy these guys just keep digging themselves deeper. There's another brilliant PR move by the players. Good luck with drumming up support from the public you spoiled ****** bags.

It is a bit pathetic: the 700 players made close to 2 BILLION dollars collectively last year, and they couldn't get 30 to sign up for a charity game...with nothing to do because they're being locked out?

 

[Shrimper]

Anyone tell me what the updates on today are? Been out all night and I'm feeling a bit dizzy so could good with some good news

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

glad i didn't get my hopes up, i knew these meeting were going to be a sideshow

Season over

 

[5 Minute Major]

Fehr rushes out to make a 615 conference call? Some things to consider? Meeting again tonight or tomorrow?

VERY good news!

Pre-mature to feel anything.

 

[urho]

Oh man... this is more exciting than playoffs.

 

[Hanklite*]

Any links to watch Gary Bettman presser?

 

[Hanklite*]

Oh man... this is more exciting than playoffs.

Aren't you glad Fehr did us a favor and delayed the CBA negotiations so now we get follow both with our full attention!?

These guys have families, probably going home to be with them over the weekend.

why did they have suitcases at a lawfirm anyway? i'm assuming they were planning on leaving right after...?

 

[frankthefrowner]

Im sorry but i started cracking up at work with the suit case tweet.... Like the suit cases mean anything.

 

[ThirdManIn]

We are here to discuss the NHL lockout negotiations, not ignore lists and individual posters. Get on topic.

 

[frankthefrowner]

I assume Suit cases meant, briefcases.
