That being said, you have to have at least a little respect for anybody that doesn't like the Butt-plug.

Exactly.

The rest of the owners probably don't want this halfwit anywhere near that room.

Let him in...not like it's going to make things worse!

Lots of respect for Dolan...he KNOWS Bettman's bad for the game...there should be an actual hockey person in charge of of the league....Bobby Orr anyone ?? Instant credibility.

So now the Players are wanting to have legal representation if they participate in the "informal" talks. Does that not eliminate the whole spirit of the idea ??

Maybe he can pick up the half-eaten donuts and empty cups while the talks are in progress...

Just another P.R. ploy.

So they want to make sure they play it smart.
You think CEO's with MBA's vs highschool graduates is the right way to go?

Who decided that only 8 owners need to vote to keep this lockout? Why aren't owners of the Leafs the Habs and the Rangers involved more. After all as stated by Forbes, these 3 teams own almost all the revenue. Why let Jacobs run the show. Why let Leopold who clearly is a terrible owner make decisions. I don't understand how these owners can say, ok, you 5 talking are cool, no matter what you say we are fine. So glad only 8 out of the 30 owners need to keep this lockout going. People keep talking about the palyers voting. I would love to see the owners vote. But these educated men aren't even allowed to talk at all or get fined. Why is that? To show the PA they are strong, even if it is only 8 that want this?

Where has it been written (and by whom) that only 8 of the owners are in favor of continuing the lockout?

Do you really expect these ultra-successful businessmen to let Dolan make important decisions? Should they send a limo to his rehab facility to pick him up? Maybe have a big bag of coke in the back so he can stay awake throughout the proceedings?

They are just informal talks Nard. I doubt anyone expects an agreement to get hammered out in there.

Bettman Sucks Eh? Are you answering yourself? Looks like this 'no hockey' thing is really getting to you.

But the whole point was just informal talks- no actual negotiating allowed. Surely the Players can chat without someone holding their hand ?

Coming soon......the Law Office of Dolan, Buttman and Thomas.......destroying teams and leagues for over 20 years.

You're being unfair to halfwits by comparing them to Dolan. I might add that the New York Post is about as good a piece of journalism as you'll find in the grocery cart at your local supermarket.

Good point.

A thousand pardons to halfwits all around the world.
