Dolan sucks!!!
Gary Bettman needs to call off his dogs such as Jeremy Jacobs.Why is Jacobs is the negotiating room?No CBA will be reached with the likes of Jacobs
According to Tim Panaccio of the Philadelphia Inquirer,Jacobs started a confrontation with Bob Goodenow
Jacobs called out to him, "Do we have an agreement that whatever we're doing, we're not paying more than 54 percent player cost?"
Goodenow, who at that point was talking about schedule dates, was taken aback.
"No, that is not what we're doing," he retorted. "That is a leaguewide cap, and we're not interested in doing that."
Goodenow again told Jacobs that the union's hybrid plan would allow each team to determine, within a specified range, what it would spend on payroll, without guaranteeing a strict percentage.
Jacobs, who favors a small salary cap, got angry.
"He gave Bob a stare-down," one witness said. "Bob doesn't like that."
Jacobs then reportedly said, "Well, I don't know if it will be productive for us to meet, then."
That remark caught everyone at the bargaining table by surprise, since both sides had agreed moments earlier to speed up the negotiations with a set schedule.
Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, someone from the league office - perhaps Bettman or Bill Daly, the NHL's executive vice president and chief legal counsel - apparently pointed out to Jacobs that the goal was to extend the negotiations, not abruptly end them.

Are you kidding me?Maybe Jeremy wants to blow off another season of no NHL hockey being played.He is staring down Goodenow?What is this?The fifth grade playground after school.Bob should have taken the water pitcher located in the middle of table and cracked Jacobs over the head with it
