    Yeah, not imminent, not happening, didn't happen......
    Hockey is now doomed....I, believe it or not, was a big Florida Hockey fan. Why was? Because there is no more hockey, so there are other important things to think about like the mortality of the crab or how many legs do spiders have....
    Seriously folks, both sides suck. The players didn't give in. There is nothing to give in on. They never even unanimously agree on a cap. Some players were surprised that the NHLPA proposed a cap. The league's 42 million dollar cap I consider to be more than generous. Teams like Florida don't have a payroll higher than 30 milliion. 42 million is fine. Players want a higher cap? Make your own freaking league and go away.....I love hockey man, but this is bullshit...
    Also, the league and Farttman could have easily agreed on a 45 million dollar cap as proposed by Gretzky and Lemieux, however they thought that 3 million was too much, so now we lose the league for a measley 3 million dollars.....When you are talking about a whole league, 3 million ain't much....

    They can't have a credible season anyway at this point. Even if they rushed players into a week long training camp they would have eight weeks to play games at the most and get rid of one playoff round (they would have to) or you're going to have hockey in late June.

    Even each team playing four games a week would be a 32 game season. That's garbage. Forget about hockey. Personally I'm never paying my own money to see an NHL game again - just like baseball - they lost me after the last strike. This one is even worse.

    Their biggest problem right now is season ticket renewals - do you think anyone is going to give them more money for seasons tickets next year after losing an entire season this year? No way. They are screwed.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    3 Million actually works out to around 100 millions dollars.

    But I agree with much of what you have said

    A 45 million dollar salary cap still allows for some markets to lose money. Bettman isn't going to agree to something in which teams will ultimately fail. I agree with him.

    so much for negotiation
    Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.

    When you have a guy like Goodenow running the NHLPA, there will never be negotiation. The guy is a jackass, and the main reason why there are so many problems within the National Hockey League.

    Both Bettman and Goodenow are Douchebags.

    Bettman brought this league to it's lowest point.

    I don't follow hockey close enough to defend Betteman but I will say this....

    I 100% support the owners in this labor issue. I don't know if Betteman has done other things to deserve criticism, but standing up to the union is not on of them, in my opinion.

    I just hope like hell the baseball owners are watching this and grow a spine.

    I'll tell you this much, the NHL players union is TOAST at this point.

    Exactly from a $2.1 Billion Business to probably less than $1 billion. The Players saw there best offer. The League is toast as we knew it. They will be paying radio stations and networks to air their programming.

    Fuck the PBA is probably a bigger draw in the states for ESPN and the likes anyways
