commentary...

my brother,who is not a hockey fan,even asked me about the NHL lockout,last night,and i was confused on what to say,because there has been a marathon collective bargaining agreement(CBA)negotiation session,between NHL players,and owners,but there are conflicting reports on how well it is going... according to a report,everything that the owners proposed is off the table,but take that with a grain of salt... the report comes from the NHLPA,and yet,there are other reports that there were "much progress",in those talks,over the last three days,but again,the executive director of the NHLPA(Donald Fehr)or the NHL Commissioner(Gary Bettman)were not in the meeting,either,so i just feel there is more spin,than progress,and time is clicking away on the remainder of the season(if there is one),and people are still posing on both sides,for their own agendas,to make the other side look like morons... this is not to end pretty,because there have been morons on both sides,and even though there will be a collective bargaining agreement(CBA) in the future,there will be very pissed off fans,who may go to games,but not too many,or buy merchandise,from the NHL,or get Center Ice(their NHL hockey package),when lockout is over... as for me,i will not get the Center Ice package,if there is a season,but that is for now,i have to admit,because i am very pissed off,period,and my anger is not going to subside any time soon,and i guarantee that,folks...
