    So, if negotiations go any longer, players will throw a huge hissy fit?

    Good. Let's just all throw temper tantrums. That'll be productive.

    ya ... alternating with the olympics ... i like it ... i think the parity is there now that any one of 7 countries have a shot at winning ...

    as for the lockout - it will always be on the owners side ...

    For sure the parity is there. I didn't think they'd sacrifice the winter classic...but it appears they might...maybe the season will be lost.

    That's a good thing...sometimes those kids appreciate the support more than the NHL guys do. The only hockey I go to is my junior team...better bang for the Buck...I haven't been to a Red Wing game since the 2008 playoffs. Hockey for me sucks here in terms of TV. I live across from Detroit and only a handful of their games are on TV a year...so I never watch hockey till the playoffs anyways. Usually every Saturday it's Toronto on one station and Montreal on the other...I doubt if you combined the roster of those 2 teams that the playoffs would be possible :D.

    up front ... looks like a great move ... and definitely gives the owners an up on the PR battle ... but there are details like what constitutes HRR ... i hear the owners wanted to take out concession sales and seat licenses amongst other things ...

    5 year MAX contracts? Wonder how they would handle that going forward with all these LONG term deals that were just signed..
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    then if that stuff is removed then I don't see the players buying in...they sell a lot of 12 beer in those stadiums.

    what the cuss?
    You must really be upset with the owners to drop 2 f-bombs in one post ;)

    both sides are in for a PR nightmare if they don't make this offer work. Fingers crossed.
