From csnphilly.com:
Can we have a hockey season by Black Friday?
That’s the goal as the NHL and the NHLPA convene in New York City Tuesday at a secret neutral location, to resume collective bargaining talks in hopes of ending the lockout, which entered its eighth week on Sunday.
The league, as CSNPhilly.com reported on Monday, is not expected to hold a news conference after the meeting. Typically, the union does.
Sources within the league are gently pushing the union to mimic what NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman intends to do: release a statement, but not negotiate in the media or divulge what was said.
It remains to be seen whether both parties can do just that.
“The call is for silence now,†said one prominent agent.
Said another agent, “The big thing? They’re finally negotiating.â€
“The window to make a deal is there,†said one person with ties on both sides of the table. “Players want to play and their demands to get a deal are there.
“The owners are moving in the right direction. And agents, the key ones, have a lot of push. I think it gets done next week.â€
There is a belief within both sides that if the traction they found over the weekend multiplies, it can lead to sustained talks that will end the lockout.
It could take a week or two, but it can happen.
The goal is to get a deal done by mid-month, open training camps, and play on Black Friday with a 60-game season or better.
“It’s definitely an important time, considering the timing of everything,†Sidney Crosby told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“Knowing in the back of our minds that it’s probably the last chance to get anything close to a full season.
