The small group meetings are over for now. It would appear this could be an interesting day and not in a good way. #NHL #NHLPA

yes...

I dont give a Rats Backside what these busters want. I really don't. Just get it figured out and get on the ice. Sorry you can't work because you feel entitlement to a few extra millions. Meanwhile most others are mutha fracking the goverment because they feel the need to tax our less than 100k salaries some more so they can waste it on absolutely nothing. get over yourself NHL.

Pension funding sounds like the last big hill - those other issues shouldn't stop them from getting back to business. Nice read from Shoalts ...

Here's what worries me: pension issues are so complicated, I sincerely doubt that any of the player reps can fully comprehend them (and I'm not calling the players stupid - just saying it's an incredibly complex subject).

How can they possibly evaluate these offers?

yes...

Why would anyone buy that money pit???

@AtomicWedgie:

Fehr now threatening double secret disclaimer of interest.

I have a feeling they will file the disclaimer of interest and the season is history....the only thing holding this up is the pension and it seems either side isnt budging

The Devils need to file a disclaimer for desertification...

Even if they file, it's not the end of the world. There will be a season, they are not cancelling this season, too close to a deal, PA is only trying to gain some leverage...nothing more.

YOU need to file a disclaimer of Dessertification.

I seriously don't know anyone who cares!! In fact we talked about it at work last night and every person there is sick of it and wants the season cancelled.

One of them has to have an actuarial degree, no?

I'm sure they are focused on the "who's going to fund it" part. If I read it right it sounds like the League offer is to fund it equally but its share comes from 300 milly make whole. The PA wants a true funding split ...which I assume means in addition to the 300 milly make whole.

This.

The problem is that the NHL didn't blink last night, the PA did.

The impetus is the calendar. The DOI is next to meaningless compared to the calendar. The owners showed last night they are not going to just give the PA stuff because the PA leadership *might* file a DOI.

In fact, the whole vote thing is a complete farce.

Garrioch is a tool. Don't worry about what he says.
