Will there be nhl hockey this season?
It seems to me they are doing more damage to the hockey business than good by holding out like this. Just get a mediator and agree to whatever he says and move on.
I am already getting the hockey DT's I am watching a lot of college hockey and it is fun to watch but I would like to see the big boys play. The NHL has some of the same problems as the DMF...greed for commercial activities. |
No.

This is the players fault. They are resuming talks again tomorrow I think. The rumor is that the Winter Classic will kick off the season.

"The NHL today made a somewhat surprising offer to its players in an attempt to end the lockout and kick-start the 2012-13 season on Nov. 2 -- which would represent approximately a three-week delay from its original Oct. 11 start. According to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, the league is willing to split the Hockey Related Revenue, 50-50, with the players. In its first offer to the players in July, the league sought to share a much smaller percentage, possibly as little as 43 percent, according to how the NHL Players Association deciphered the offer. The 50-50 share in itself is encouraging, but it is a steep drop from the 57 percent the players have pocketed since the start of the salary cap system that was instituted out of the 2004-05 lockout. So while 50 percent is certainly better than 43 percent, it still represents a substantial drop in hard dollars for the players, considering the league's HRR last season was some $3.3 billion. It is not likely that union leadership will easily accept the idea of falling back from $1.88 billion (at 57 percent) to $1.65 billion (at 50 percent). Net loss: $230 million."

Nobody will care until baseball and football are done and all they have is the NBA.
Then, the whining will begin. -spence |

Big part of the problem is the big % of European players.
They can just go back home and play ! |
Unlikely. Go out and support the AHL!
