Walmart giftwraps?
- Dwight K. Schrute


Sorry Dwight I was not very clear. I meant to convey that Walmart, bustling for the holidays surely must be hiring some folks (stampede control technicians possibly), and separate from that, in shopping malls and so-forth there is also likely demand for girt wrappers at those stations they set up.

the only gap that got smaller is the time before the season is cancelled

i do hope there is a season. a really poor season for income. and then i hope next season is just as bad. and then the season after that, then it will get good for a season or two, and whammm-o, right back where we started, another lock out.

can some one explain to me why in the hell i am following this b.s.? damn my love for hockey.

but just like any one that gets hurt time and time agian, i will eventually leave the nhl, and take my pillow with me.

This is not the kind of situation that is helped by a mediator. Both sides know what they need to do to get a deal done. Nobody is ready to swallow yet.

So no comments like, "Well, what can I say about Fehrsie? We know we have the best guy in the world back there, and it gives us a lot of confidence."

"We've just got to concentrate on taking it one meeting at a time, and focusing on doing the little things right."

"A concession in November is worth just as much as a concession in December. We need to grab some points now, so that we aren't chasing a new CBA at the end of the year."

If NHL last offer before cancelling the whole season if rejected is not at 46% for 8 years for players, i will not watch hockey.

I think that Ek should make a thread solely for a debate on who's a bigger douchebag, the NHL or NHLPA, because that's where every thread ends up anyway.

Then what's the point of creating a separate thread?

Here is the NHLPA's bargaining in simplified form:

"We want 5 apples, 3 oranges, 7 bananas, 10 grapes, and 8 pears"

"No?? Ok we will concede a little, we want 7 bananas, 8 pears, 5 apples, 10 grapes and 3 oranges"

"Geez, your aren't happy with that, how many more concessions do we have to make???? Ok this is our last one, we want 8 pears, 7 bananas, 3 oranges, 10 grapes, and 5 apples"

"Good God you still won't take that, what more can we give up! You need to meet us half way!!"

"Forget it, we are going to Russia, they will give us 2 grapefruit there"

A cancelled season is music to my ears. I want to see the nhl and nhlpa squirm for years to come.
