Not disputing the essence of the article, but it is from Brooks--he of the "endlessly arguing with John Tortorella fame" and easily the most pro-player writer out there. He is quite often quite nauseating (he was especially so during the 2005 lockout). He takes everything the players say at face value and regularly casts the owners in the most negative light possible.

What if the end game is to end any games before the game end has an ending that ends all games?

Yeah, who the (frank) is Larry Brooks????

Also, why are you reading articles that have already been cleared up. The PA have had the changes highlighted for over a week. It's their own stupid fault they chose not to read it.

You realize Brooks is the PA's puppet...right? He's been the most bias reporter out there since day one.

Might be he is the only one that has it right about Bettman.

Supposedley there was progres being made and yesterday things blew up.

Brooks has shown over the years he has good connections when it comes to this kind of stuff. I would tend, as I hate Bettman, to think Brooks might be on the mark about this.

So basically you are just confessing that Brooks is telling you exactly what you would like to here, which has ZERO to do with whether or not any of it is actually true.

He has repeatedly said the owners were putting pressure on Bettman to get this done and not lose another season. He is pro big market teams and what Bettman is trying to do to them.

He is as much anti Bettman as he is pro players.

Yeah I did, the players yesterday accused the Owners of pulling a fast one on the HRR....

However, if you would read my post, it was confirmed by way more reliable sources that the changes were made last week and were marked and highlighted in the 300 page proposal from the Owners.

Watching hockeycentral at noon, they're saying during the last meeting the players argued with the owners for 20 minutes about the towels they're supplied with on the road......... WOW

As you just stated, you hate Bettman and therefor it's normal that anything pro players fits what you want to hear, doesn't make it fair, honest and not the PA's propaganda.

Brooks is 100% pro player, anti Bettman and will never look for the truth when he reports on this situation, take what he says with a grain of salt. Same with the 100% pro owner reporters.

This. Like us some of these guys have biases and opinions or even slightly different information... Brooks though is an absolute and utter disgrace.

He's a shill for the union. He childishly calls Bettman names and has unrelenting man-love for Lundqist. He's more interested in coining nicknames than writing an informative article. He is not a reporter to take seriously. Umm, he sucks.

Painting "Thank You" on the ice should cover it.

Is it "Thank you, fans" or "Thank you fans"?

“Basically, they changed the definition, where there would be no accountability in terms of HRR accounting,” Phillips told the Ottawa Sun Friday. “So they could basically give us whatever number they wanted to.

“It’s great that we’re at 50-50 now, but 50-50 of what? That’s just ridiculous. We’re trying to get a deal done, and negotiate in good faith and they pull garbage like that. That’s not going to get anything done.”
