Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
No NHL owners in today's negotiating session with NHLPA. Some have gone home, some still around but "owner-player" train left station.

[Cail]

and now this:

Neil Greenberg ‏@ngreenberg
#breaking RT: @jessespector: What else is new? RT @adater: Owners are "furious" at Don Fehr right now

[Cail]

Chris Botta ‏@ChrisBottaNHL
48 hours later, Tuesday meeting exposed. It was a PR coup for Bettman - Burkle and Sid as saviors - and the PA bought it.

cya next year

[NynJa]

@ESPN_Burnside

NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr and assorted players will meet with media shortly. Can you say Kaboom?

Spoiler: show

[Deader2818]

Its shit like this that starts to make me hate hockey. Both sides are fucking stupid and doing nothing but hurting themselves.

Players still want to get everything when its just not going to happen.

Length on contracts need to be made because these 15 year deals are BS when the last 5-7 years they made as much as they do in year 1.

[Bregor]

It's gotten so bad I'm watching TSN online.

PALIN WILL PAY FOR THIS WITH THE BLOOD OF HIS PEOPLES

[Brill Weave]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PALIN DIES!!!!

[Ratatapa]

[Vaspinne]

Feels close, feels really close. Very cautiously excited! When Don Fehr says they're close, it has to be a good sign

[Deader2818]

So, all thats left to agree on is term of CBA and term of contracts??

[Bregor]

Player's proposal: 8-year CBA with opt-out clause after 6 years, 8-year max contracts for players. Seems reasonable, this may happen yet.

[Bregor]

So, all thats left to agree on is term of CBA and term of contracts??

Percentage of hockey revenue will be the last hurdle, I think.

[Melena]

So who is doing Palin's eulogy?

[Deader2818]

Percentage of hockey revenue will be the last hurdle, I think.

I think thats pretty much agreed to being 50/50 and that was the whole point of the make whole provision.
