What about the owners? They force people to change their avatars all the time.

Fehr offered to let you use the Vader avatar back in November. Did you conveniently forget that?

Oh Lord, I'm bored.

You don't get it. You don't understand. I understand. You don't. It's quite simple. I am here, getting it. You are there, not getting it. So don't kid yourself. If there is anyone who gets it, it's me. If there is anyone who doesn't get it, it's everyone not being me.

exactly. if it's so secret, how the hell did Ek find out about it? is your source Bill Daly? or Bettman himself? come on. we all know that your source is either someone really low on the totem pole, like an executive assistant or receptionsit, or its what you hear from Mackenzie and Dreger, like the rest of us.

Ek, you've been guess on this from day one.

and even if they are meeting, it won't matter. there will not be a deal till either the PA accepts the League's last offer or when the League makes a sweeter offer. If the League is willing to move, they will wait till the last second because they know Fehr won't accept anything untill then and will only ask for more. and the PA won't accept anything because they think they can get more and they are making a point.

nothing till January.

Only reason for Ek to say there are secret negotiations is to get people to think he knows the secret and he gets people to come to his website.

so what ever happened to the two groups to sign by that friday couple weeks ago? oh right it did not happen no hockey this season

Better off with no season. I find the continuing saga much more entertaining. Sorta like watching figure skating hoping for a major wipe out rather than someone landing their triple axle.

Really?

What a pathetic childish act on his part,
Another reason to refuse to acknowledge him.

I had no idea Galchenyuk was an American.

"If the NHL and NHLPA wanted us back so badly, then why did they disregard us in the firstplace?!?! It's like your wife finding you in bed with another woman, then you offer her a romantic trip for two and a new car to make up for it and it's all forgotten! Sure it is!!!

I for one, don't need to be patronized! When they get their collective heads out of their asses, play a meaningful 52 game season. If they have to resort to gimmicks to attract the fringe fans to come back, they can cancel the whole season! This isn't WWE, and I don't care about those fringe, casual fans from some obscure, non-hockey town. If the city they're in doesn't support it......MOVE the franchise! Why should I have to pay $150 for a prime seat, only to have MY teams revenue shared with a team from a city who can only command $70 for a prime seat, and then that team bids against mine for free agents with the money they took from ME! Thre is something seriously wrong with that scenario!!"

Agreed! Forget season tickets anymore, go watch the Hawks play the bum market teams first row on glass, flying Spirit, while priceline-ing a hotel - all for less than the cost of a ticket on the glass at a home Hawks game! Mini vacation $$ better spent than sharing the lion's portion and a hell of a lot of fun!
