If there so in love with money, then why are they fine with not making any?

It's 0311, and I'm watching game 4 of the 1982 finals... Lets get this (Franking) shit over already... Arrrrgh!

[sseagle]

The National Hockey League and NHL Players' Association have scheduled to meet in Toronto on Monday to finish off last season's hockey-related revenue (HRR) numbers, including escrow payments for players.

Both sides are hopeful that negotiations on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement will resume following Monday's meeting.

Most recently, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and the union were in Edmonton through Friday for a hearing with the Alberta Labour Board. The Players' Association are trying to get the Labour Relations Board to declare the current lockout illegal.

The current Collective Bargaining Agreement expired on Saturday night and the NHL owners subsequently locked out the players.

A number of players, including Evgeni Malkin, Alexander Ovechkin, Rick Nash, Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk have already signed contracts to play overseas until an agreement is reached.

It's the NHL's fourth work stoppage in 20 years.

So if the lockout is declared illegal under Canadian labor laws, will those teams have a season by themselves?

If you could only pick a favorite team based on the existing Canadian teams, who would you pick? I think the least offensive would be Montreal, and the most offensive of course would be Vancouver.

Probably Winnipeg. 2nd choice would be the Oilers. What do I win?

Apparently they are meeting again tomorrow unless it conflicts with someone's tee time. Is there ANY HOPE AT ALL that this one will result in anything positive?

I need something. Anything at all. I'm literally being beaten down to a pulp by sports lately: Packers fan (MNF game...enough said), Blues fan (lockout, lose JD), White Sox fan (choking in the clutch after being in 1st most of the season).

Woe is me.
