How is Goodenow the problem this time? They meet with out the two who were thought to be the major problems in the negeotiating process and didn't come out any closer.eye said:There won't be any NHL hockey until either the players remove Goodenow from power or the NHL II starts up with replacement players.

Crows said:You know things are going good/better when both sides say the exactly the same thing after. Which they have.
I'm optimistic. Very much so.
they basically said the same thing. the best thing to come out of today was that both sides didn't flame each other.babybruin said:http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=111977&hubName=nhl
"There was some good dialogue," said Ted Saskin, senior director of the NHL Players' Association. "We clearly have some serious differences of opinion but we continue to try and find ways to bridge the gap."
Daly told reporters the two sides would talk again but did not say when. "We don't have anything scheduled."
Saskin would only say "the lines of communication remain open,"
bladoww said:I think one positive, atleast to me, is when Daly said: "I can't say we're any closer..." To me that could be taken two different ways entirely - and you can blame me for reading too much into it but that's what I do best.
"I can't say we're any closer..."
Can't say or won't say?
I think someone else said it earlier, but it is definately a good thing that they aren't coming out of this meeting chewing nails and spittin' tacks like before. Sounds like they are covering up the fact that they have gotten somewhere. They say no new proposals have been made, well, I partially buy that. But I seriously doubt they are in there all day playing cards - of course they are negotiating, that's what they are meeting for. Not to talk about the weather. And I don't doubt that there are areas that need to be improved on and maybe even revamped altogether, but sounds like something is happening. Slowly but surely, maybe, but sooner than later is more appropriate.
