Heard that.

Didnt Don propose a voting within his own ranks to decide to decertify or not ?? From what i've read thats what i got.....he just essentially telegraphed the PA's possible future move to the NHL and the NHL ran to court and beat them to the punch.

...... and no Hockey Night In Canada and Don Cherry! My good Canadian neighbors must be contemplating mass suicide at about now.

Please don't do it! Try alternative sports. Try following bowling on ESPN, or poker.

Poker? Yikes! Where is my sword?

If the PA wanted to do this and not negotiate don't you think they would have done this months ago like the NBAPA and the NFLPA?
If they really wanted to do this, don't you think they wouldn't have LET IT LEAK?

What the NHL did, was absolutely nothing. Is it going to help during negotiations? Probably not, because you know, you need to actually NEGOTIATE.

Everything I read, even from the people who think this was a good move, say this doesn't help the NHL with the negotiation. So great, they filed something first. This won't stop the PA file if they still want to in another state.

Me thinks it was a threat tactic by Fehr to the NHL to induce more negotiations...but..im no lawyer and from what ive seen on interviews the party that goes to court 1st gets the upper hand...bur who knows........but this stinks..its now gone into the world of the law.

This is just another move by Bettman to insure that there will be no NHL season this year. Its becoming increasingly obvious that he doesn't want them to play.

bur = but

Here is a quote i read today. The chances this resolves the lockout is 0%. Every lockout where they went to court, it did absolutely nothing.
So great, they get the upper hand in the court system. What does the court system have to do with the current CBA? This will help in no way at all.
If this would help, don't you think either the league or the PA would have done this a few months ago?

Conflicting reports it seems....hopefully the reports ive seen are wrong then and yours are correct...or maybe i just interpreted the reports wrong.

This entire thing is now a true stale mate.

SIGH.

The reports i read were sadly correct..check out the www.TheHockeyNews.com website.....the 1st 1 that gets to court is not really correct but where they file is their goal..a court sympathetic to the lock-out.....meaning the battle against the NHL just got more up-hill.

Right, once the courts get involved this thing could last even longer. Lawyers=fishfood.
