commentary...

honestly,is the NHL,and the NHLPA serious about the new collective bargaining agreement and its extension,into a time frame,that is feasible,for both the League,the NHLPA,and the fans??? the NHL's proposal wanted player share of revenue go from 57%, to 46%... union numbers,which are different;they are talking of 43% of team revenue,for the players,instead of 46%,according to the NHL... the union's proposal was for the collective bargaining agreement to be,for three years... YOU KIDDING ME??? what a joke,on both fronts... NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman,and NHLPA head Donald Fehr(he,of the 1994 MLB lockout,and strike fame)must want to get a new CBA in place,and there is still time,but to cancel a negotiating session,on Wednesday,does not look good to the fans... with Bettman saying that the NHL will not play under the expiring CBA,and thus threatening a lockout,of the players,it is time to get off your hands to do something... does anyone hear the fans,and their complaints? i do not think so...
