Goodenow's argument that Bettman's proposal is bad in that it only effects 9 teams is so irrational.

The difference between 42.5 and 49 can be significant when you consider the circumstances.

Many of those teams currently under 42.5 did so in anticipation of the new CBA, not as long term spending plans!

I'd put heavy money that a cap of 49 million would see at least 12-15 teams over 42.5, if not more. EASILY.

What an embarassment.

THIS IS FREAKING DEPRESSING.

these guys hate each other. We should go back to Bob and Ted and let them have another couple of days in Niagara with each other.

The 2 big guns are just going to argue tooth and nail to see who budges next. It`s all a ****ing joke to them.

I like how he uses the exclamation mark at the end of his last sentence. :lol
Ha.
He should have done this:
"I am at a loss to understand how you suggest your offer earlier today represents a $75 million dollar increase when it only impacts the spending of nine teams! :dunno: Love, BG"

I've seen more mature exchanges between 8-year-olds than what these two clowns have come up with tonight.

Seriously... "Dear Gary, I do not like what you wrote. I don't want to be your friend anymore, my mom does not want me to talk to you anymore.

Sinceriously yours,
Bobby"

wtf is this

2. Based on your own calculations from Exhibit 12, over 21 Clubs are spending significantly less than your team payroll limit number of $42.5 million. I am at a loss to understand how you suggest your offer earlier today represents a $75 million dollar increase when it only impacts the spending of nine teams!


:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol



The joke is on you Gary if you cancel the season.

This is absolutely amazing. Watching two grown men have a little slap fight in public. These 2 are acting like such children. Wow, way to market the sport to the public, like this won't make the NHL an even bigger laughing stock.
On a side note, it would rock if Gary ended his next letter with: PS. I slept with your wife

Anybody else picturing Gary sitting at his computer/fax waiting for Bob's response? :joker: Because I just did and that would explain how he was so quick to respond with his last letter.

The only thing that matters right now is what happens between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

I want to believe that TSN is just making these letters up. No way do these letters read like they were written by adults. Oh well.

Put Gary and Bob on the next Real World season.

i love how he signs it


"regards.."

my god, why bother with formal letters. have they not heard of a "phone" or a "meeting room" or even "email".

the part that is out of control is negotiating through the media like this, they should both be fired for embaressing their constituents.

The thing that disgusts me the most is that they put these public.

It almost seems like they are setting up an agreement.

Of course they are. Think of it as a poker hand. They are both trying to get the best deal for both sides. I would be absolutely amazed that they broke off all talks and Bettman cancelled the season now. This will not happen. Both parties are using the media as an attempt to gain leverage over the other for the last piece of pie in the 2.1 Billion dollar business.

Edit: How embarrassing is it that the NHLPA has to produce a 2nd letter in a row. Why? The 1st letter didn't have the impact you were looking for so you're trying again?

What are you talking about? Bettman responded to the PA's 1st letter and now Goodenow responded to the NHL's 2nd letter.

No, it isn't. Goodenow knows better.

Either a last minute deal will be reached or this is one of the mose assanine things I've ever seen in sports.

True, but that was the case long before the last 24 hours.

Gary will let them sweat. No new offer from the owners.

We'll see what the PA has to say once they see the owners mean by "final offer"!

The NHL will have to move off of the 42.5 at some point to get it done. Will they do it in the next hour or at 8am?

Neither of these 2 can stay up all night waiting for the other guy and still negotiate and function properly tomorrow morning... when the deal get done if ever. Their "talk" never dragged on past 1am. Idon`t think this stuff will last till 3 or 4 either.

Either Bettman acts now or he`ll wait it out until he wakes up the next morning. Either way I hate both of these guys more than I did an hour ago.
