mafatumatt Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 this hurts, this really hurts. nhl might as well never play again. if they couldnt work something out for today nothing will work, the fans will never be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamarlins3 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Well it was probably for the better because in all reality a 20 game season is a complete joke. Its sad to see and I know Im pretty disappointed they couldnt come to agree over $6.5 million. The owners will ultimately end up winning this, but now there probably wont be any talks until August because apparently they only like working with a deadline. Whatever, pitchers and catchers report tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhan Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 TSN is reporting that the players have just accepted a cap, only minor details need to be worked out now. This is absolutely huge and we could be seeing NHL hockey in as little as two weeks. :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup 686464[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyofCangelosi Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Aww man this is horrible, i actually thought they were going to come to a resolution today. The two sides seemed close. Now we'll probably lose professional hockey in so. fla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhan Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 There won't be a season next year either. Bettman said the last second offer is off the table, they are going to start from scratch again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Barry Melrose said, the rest is just crunching the numbers. 686536[/snapback] Exactly. The fact that the PA has accepted a cap, regardless of the numbers, is absolutely huge. There will be a season. 686543[/snapback] Shows we can no longer believe Barry Melrose, or Accord proclimations. I hate being preached to and told something will happend and then it doesn't.

Iowa Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The NHL was going to crap before the strike.. now you can basically kiss it goodbye. Just don't bring NHL players to minor league teams and force guys out of jobs who are playing for $800 when you guys were bitching over getting an extra couple mil...

Accord Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I am seriously f***ing done. This is f***ing ridiculous, I place 100% of the blame on Bettman, as commissioner of the league it is his job and his responsibility to protect the sport as a whole, not just represent the owners. How can you come SO GOD DAMN MOTHER f***ING CLOSE and just let it all fall apart? Bettman is an idiot, I am f***ing irate right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
