Good site on the lockout.

Who needs hockey when there is lacrosse?

 

 

That is a good one. It is hard to see how they will get together but how can they walk away from the sport for one or more years?

 

I trust if anyone hears an outcome of today's meetings they will post here?

 

Of course, Jed.

 

Talks between NHL, union break off with no progress reported

NEW YORK (AP) -- NHL labor talks ended Friday after a four-hour meeting, leaving the hockey season on the brink of being canceled.

The sides met for the third straight day, but made no progress on the major stumbling block: a salary cap. The NHL has insisted on a link between league revenues and player costs, and the players' association has steadfastly refused that as a solution to end the season-long lockout.

``The parties met again today for approximately four hours and the discussions broke off with no progress to report,'' NHLPA senior director Ted Saskin said in a statement.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and players' association executive director Bob Goodenow rejoined the discussions Thursday, and were at the table for Friday's session.

Goodenow left the meeting and said he was returning to Toronto.

The NHL indicated that progress was essential at these talks if there was to be hockey this season.

 

I was just going to post that.

Doesn't look good.

I'm probably going to see my first game of the season - a CHL game down in Texas.
