The 2 sides will be getting together again this week. Hopefully they will continue to make progress.

Bettman and Goodenow are expected to rejoin the negotiation on Thursday, perhaps heating up what has been described as a "big week."

Yup .. Thursday should do it ..[Fire Sather] said:Might have a deal after the Thursday meetings.
The Iconoclast said:It will be interesting to see what impact the ESPN announcement has on negotiations. The official announcement will be out by time the meeting take place so I suspect that will have the effect of a Pejorative Slurant or an accelerant. It will be interesting to see which it is.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.RangerBoy said:Why couldn't they meet on Tuesday?As Yogi Berra said It's getting late early".Wednesday is June 1
how obnoxious ...gscarpenter2002 said:Oh, I just don't know what to say!!!!!!
hello kpd ... nice to have you respond ...hubofhockey said:OK, that vacume approach is fine.
However, let's say you were in a marriage, and your partner (be it wife or husband), just went out and rolled up incredible debt on the credit card EVERY MONTH. Let's say he/she came home ever 30 days with bills of, oh, $10K.
You, as the co-debtor, could sit there and say, `Hey, that's my partner....no on put a gun to his/her head to buy those things....and it's as free world,ain't it...and that's the impact of a free-market world.' You know what, you'd be right.You also would be up to your eyeballs in debt.
In other words, you also would be an ENABLER. At some point, as the partner, you have to take responsibility for what your significant other does. Or, you can stand there like a blind idiot and accept it all until your avoir-dupois is hauled into bankruptcy, too.l
So, Dr., I ask you, how do your repsonses fit that scenario? In a vacume, yes, the owners should be able to do it on their own. But history has shown--beyond a shadow of a doubt--that they are unable to police themselves. For the most part, they are intoxicated by the thought of winning, and they run their businesses like drunken fools--and the only ones who have benefited have been the players (certainly not the fans).
For the first time in their sad history, the owners have policed themselves in this lockout, and they are now finally getting it under control. We only now await the players to signal when they're down to their last ounce of blood.
