I dunno...IMO there is a VERY slim window to submit an offer that had better be very close to the owners' last offer, for the players' sake. For next season only, of course. This season's done, we've all had our crying jag over that.

No way... That 42,5 deal is officially of the table... IF the players might come to Bettman and ask for THAT deal within the next 24 hours, than they might still get it... but only in connection with a 28-game-season this year. IF there is no NHL hockey this season, the owners (and they made that very clear) are not willing to take any risks as they don´t know how big the hit they suffer because of the lost season will be. Every agreement from that point (no 04-05 season) on will include linkage...

just my 2 cents!

I wonder if the league will throw them a face saving bone and raise the cap a little or force them to get on both knees by making them come back at 42.5.

Could depend on whether Goodenow is invloved.

43.5 million so they players are not obliged to eat sh*t with both hands.

No "indexing" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) clause. And that provision which allows a team paying luxury tax to deduct it from its revenue-sharing contribution is out as well.

Then watch the players stampede to vote yes.

If this supposed mutiny is true...it's the best move the players have done during this whole lockout...

The players should take the 42.5 million offer and run...the NBA a league which makes alot more money has a cap at 44 million and they're heading towards a CBA war...


The NBA has 1/2 as many players, just incase you forgot

Yeah, but for NBA players that is easier to swallow, as an NBA roster is only half and NHL roster... so everybody gets a bigger peace of the cake ;)

The players themselves have done nothing wrong here...it's the heads of the union that have. Goodenow, Linden, Saskin, Guerin, etc. Leaving their players out in the dark, its a joke.

Yeah, that's what I meant

That is exactly what I am thinking. I hope for the players and those that make a living on this sport that they work something out soon so that the Lockout is over and planning can start for next season.

What could be both a good sign.. or a bad sign is that the Big Media(ESPN, TSN, Sportsnet) are staying 10 miles away from this..

Meaning..

Good- They have not discredited it..

Bad- They have not given any credit to it..

Where is Panger...?

Where is the Big media?

Or are they trying not to jinx any possible improbable movement?


Maybe they are being asked to stay away to not get everyone's hopes up. I can come up with no other reason why big media wouldn't even mention the rumours.

I realize that, but as you said, everybody get a bigger piece of the cake, but that "cake" is only 44 million..that's the point i'm trying to make...42.5 is already a stretch...if teams like my beloved Montreal Canadiens who lead the league in attendance and have a TV deal, are one of the leagues flagship franchises, yet they still lose money...

It is impossible to listen to that clown without tossing your radio across the room.

Once they all arrived in the incredibly stupid place that they did yesterday, they probably just all woke up to more idiocy today. Makes sense.

According to Fan 590 Shanahan just turned down an interview with 1270 WXYT out of Detroit because it could jeopardize talks ???

Can Anyone confirm this ?

Here's what *might have* happened.

"Hi Brendan, this is Bill Thompson, sports director here at 1270 WXYT in Detroit."

"Hi Bill."

"Brendan the reason I am calling is because we'd like to get you on the air this morning to get your reaction to the cancellation of the season."

"Actually Bill this is not a good time for me, my wife is insisting on waffles this morning and I'm trying to convice her that bacon is more in order. If I do an interview right now there's no chance in hell I'll get my bacon. Giving an interview will jeopordize the negotiation going on here."

"WOW! I didn't really listen to anything but the last sentance here but say no more! We'll talk soon. Godspeed Brendan."

they don't have a listen live option on their website. Can you give us a recap?
