I guess there’s only a finite number of ways to say “we haven’t heard a thing yetâ€

LMAO! I wasn't sure what I'd think of it since it's called "Time With Your Wife", and I'm a girl, but it was pretty funny! If I were married though, I'd be spending a lot of time with my husband watching hockey........

My prediction

the second business day after the NBA finals.

(and if thats already past, then I've no idea)

I have a bunch of lockout songs let me know if you anyone wants me to post some

The NBA will have a CBA before the NHL does, and NBA is pretty much put there best offer forward now, and its off the table come July 1.

Michael Jackson will be in jail before a new CBA is signed.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

I'm willing to agree with you there.

 

[King_Brown]

I don't understand Billy Hunter wanting a lockout. Uncle Stern as offered such a awesome offer, with small changes to the current system. What more do they want?

If the greediest people on earth the NHLPA accepts what we all want linkage and a cap, the NBPA is screwed big time and so is the MLBPA. A group thats negotiated the greatest thing ever introduced to sports LINKAGE and a CAP.

I still doubt the NHL and NHLPA will reach a deal to save NHL hockey. It wont be until January that they realise that the Owners are for real, and will accept linkage at 50% and a cap at $20 million.

We should go outside there meeting room and start a huge WE WANT LINKAGE chant.

TORONTO (CP) - The NHL and NHL Players' Association continued to plug away at a new deal with another small group session Monday, making slow and steady progress towards finally ending the ninth-month lockout.

It doesnt say that todays meeting ended anywhere, but the general feeling comming out of this article is that this is done within a week or two... Even though it doesnt say THAT either, you know it will be.

So, the end is definately in sight.

January??? Again logic suggests that people dont meet 4-5 days a week for 50 some hours to come up with nothing. They did that without the meetings earlier

Of course Logic dosent enter this CBA

That was added on TSN at 10:00am...so I doubt the meetings ended then.

Michael Jackson will be in jail before a new CBA is signed.

Well, that could take some time seeing as he was acquitted.

Just saw a Sportscentre update on TSN. Rod Smith says the meetings have ended for today, and a source says there is enough material still to go over to draw this out for another 2 weeks.

NHL, NHLPA plug away in labour talks; deal could be done before end of the month



posted June 13 @ 17:05, EST

TORONTO (CP) - The NHL and NHL Players' Association continued to plug away at a new deal with another small group session Monday, making slow and steady progress towards finally ending the ninth-month lockout.

While the economic framework is largely in place - based on a salary cap - there remains enough work to drag this out another two weeks or so, according to sources.

 

[chiavsfan]

They are ending meetings earlier and earlier...could this be a sign of wrapping things up?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing too. It's dumb how they need to play the waiting game to wait until the NBA Finals are over to get a little more attention. But I guess they figure they need to. I hope they do it sooner but I'm guessing it'll happen 2 or 3 days after the Final game of the Series.

I hate how they keep saying this. They've been saying the same thing over and over...week after week. When are the "couple weeks" of working out the details going to end. I sure hope it's sooner rather than later. This is getting crazy. Do a marathon meeting and end this torture already!
