The 2012-2013 NHL Thread

Also, the third proposal by the NHLPA was for 50/50 split, but owners had to honor all contracts signed by the players. The owners turned that down. That is the most fair deal so far. Owners rejected it. Owners shouldn't be allowed to back out of previous contracts.

Sounds like the current deal from the owners allows them to get back whatever they give up in escrow, but it will count against the cap in that next year, so really the owner's aren't paying them, future players are paying them.

Predict the players reject this as well.

So the owners do the 50/50 split offer to get good PR and now this? WTF

It is going to be a major off season. Many questions will be answered this year.

1. Will Tim Thomas spend his year off campaigning for Ron Paul?

2. Will Nash ever make it out of Columbus?

3. Will the Leafs ever make it to the playoffs?

4. Where will Zach Parise end up?

5. Will there even be a 2012-2013 season or will the Collective Bargaining Agreement fuck us out of another season?

These questions and many more will be answered this year...

I blame you for the lockout for not letting me start this year's NHL thread

I don't know who I blame, but I am very unhappy about this! I miss my hockey!

Their TV ratings are shit until after football season anyway. They are taking a break from negotiations until after Thanksgiving.

Gonna be a while.

I think that they will be excrement for a good long time after this. Huge mistake this has been. Say what they want about Goodell, he runs a tight ship and gets the job done. Not that I always agree with him, but it is not my job; it is his to do.

Players should hold out for contraction. What a gong show that would be.

Go Riverhawks!

I haven't brought myself to go to one of their games yet....it would be too depressing thinking about how the B's should be playing.
