Reading between the lines on your two picks would suggest there is a billion dollars on the table for the owners between playing this year or not, is that what your saying?

If the players vote goes through today dosen't that insure legal action which effectively cancels the season?

No. Still time to come to a deal whether or not they go ahead with the vote.

The part I really dont get...Fehr has convinced the whole PA to lose hundreds of millions over as you say " issues that may only affect a very small percentage" What a bunch of dummies! The players can tell there kids in the future " hey kids, look at the lockout of 2012. We fought hard and lost millions in income, but a few of the players were still able to sign 8 yr deals instead of 5. Umm....what was the point again...hmm...i cant remember."

I know optimism equals more hits, but i have no doubt with fehr and bettman they can blow up a season and possibly more. They are no closer today than in sept

Seriously, pretty hard to miss the NHL right now seeing as how we've been without it since June. NFL playoff drive stretch, bowl games coming up, World JR's, and the actual playoffs in the NFL.

Ek, you should do some football blogs and see how much you can butcher that. Maybe all the owners and players coming to this site will panic and get a deal done.

No, they can still negotiate:

Despite the focus of the lockout shifting from the board room to the courtroom, there is nothing preventing the sides from continuing to try and negotiate with one another. They met separately over two days with a U.S. federal mediator this week in New Jersey but failed to make any progress.

I believe it was over the Thursday that Fehr said that was agreement on economic issues and that they were close on term and transition issues. Bettman subsequently took the stage and hammered Fehr for misleading both players and fans.

Since that point in time,every statement from the PA stresses how close they are to a settlement. It is over. Settle!
