NHL news,and commentary...

NHL/NHLPA collective bargaining agreement talks broke down after a hour... the NHLPA's response to the offer was three proposals,with some variations,of their first proposal,made in August,which were a non-starter for the NHL,back then,so it was a non-starter for the NHL,now... the NHLPA is playing hardball,and it sucks,because the fans ultimately lose out... i really wonder if the NHLPA really wants a season,at all,because knowing what is known of NHLPA head Donald Fehr,that he is a real jerk,and someone who is all for the players,which may be alright,but it makes for a tough negotiation,and the fans ultimately lose out,because the NHL is the best hockey league in the world... Donald Fehr,and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig both shut down the 1994 MLB season,when Fehr was head of the MLBPA,and the lockout lasted into training camp the next season,so when the NHLPA hired Fehr to negotiate this CBA,i knew that the 2012-2013 NHL season was in jeopardy,and now the fruits of my suspicions are bearing the evil fruit,of no hockey,for awhile...
