NHL 2013 Thread - Page 9

I worry about how long a court battle would ensue if the PA decertifies the union. Might the start of the 2013-14 season even be delayed?

Would the owners reconsider their position and settle before the court battle begins?

I am guessing if there is no agreement by New Years, this season is history.

More cancellations yesterday. My guess is that we have lost yet another NHL season.

icehog3 · 12-11-2012, 09:55 AM

Scott Burnside and a couple other ESPN analysts seem to think it might get done this week. (hope hope hope).

I would guess Jan 1st as the drop dead date.

It makes sense the TV money kicks in in January. Piss off NBC and your cutting your own throat,not that it matters to the scumbag owners.

The whole thing is very disappointing to me. I really just got back into seriously watching hockey over the past several years since the last time this happened. Even if they do have a season, I may not watch. Who am I kidding? Of course I will watch.

...More cancelations.......

icehog3 · 12-15-2012, 05:34 PM

NHL files suit against the players, alleging that the bargained in bad faith. Gimmie a break.

Players are preparing to vote on decertification on the union.

Not looking good, we need a miracle. Where's Herb Brooks when you need him?

E.J. · 12-17-2012, 11:55 AM

Not exactly NHL hockey, but at least it's hockey related and put a smile on my face....

icehog3 · 12-17-2012, 03:30 PM

No news on the players' vote to decertify the union.

But while we're handing out smiles.....

The NHL announced the cancellation of more games on Thursday, this time through Jan. 14, as time is running out to salvage a season.

In total, 625 regular-season games, or 50.8 percent of the entire schedule, has been canceled.

More news will come Friday when voting wraps up among the 700-plus players who were asked by the NHLPA's executive board for authorization to file a disclaimer of interest in order to dissolve the union and attempt to have the lockout deemed illegal. Whether the executive board will file a disclaimer remains to be seen but it has until Jan. 2 if it gets a "yes" vote from players Friday.

During a news conference on Dec. 6 in New York after talks broke up again, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman suggested that anything less than a 48-game season would not be acceptable. Given that the league has said it is willing to push a season into late June, a 48-game season would likely have to begin around the third week of January.

Looks like the Utah Grizzlies are going to have a little more talent on the ice come Friday...
