plenzmd1 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Mike Peca. The same jackoff who already sat out a year of hockey because he refused to budge on a $300,000 contract difference with the Sabres. FU Mike Peca. 241417[/snapback] I dont know, I can kind of see Pecas position here. Like I posted earlier, I would sure be pissed about taking this deal if I was a player. Not because of the deal itself, but the whole reason we stayed out this long was Goddenow kept saying"noCap Ever" And now we are taking one, and we have players going around our leadership to get er done. Likie I said, I do not agree withe the players, but dam some guys lost a lot of cake for nothing if this deal gets done
Like A Mofo Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 No update, just that the NHLPA called for a PC at 4pm....Im sure they are working on something now...I know there is a lot of pessisimism...but I really think they will make a deal today.

I just find it funny how Bettman called that letter his last offer when we all knew that was obviously not the case. I see $44 Million.

I see $44 Million. 241447[/snapback] That was the players who called for the 4pm PC....the NHL's PC is still scheduled for 1:00 from what I can see.

Your "leadership" keeps telling you for months what the position is and they're steadfast in that. Then suddenly the position changes....go figure. But if all he's concerned about is looking bad, then tough sh*t. Everyone in this mess has looked bad for almost a year now and he makes plenty of money already. He'll just have to sell one of his mansions to make up for it.
Like A Mofo Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 10:57am...3 minutes...the anticipation is killing me!!!!!
LabattBlue Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 10:57am...3 minutes...the anticipation is killing me!!!!! 241472[/snapback] Don't be disappointed like ICE when it would be 3 minutes after midnight on March 1st and he'd be here screaming and yelling that TD is an idiot for not making a move in F/A yet!

Like A Mofo Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Update from tsn.ca: The NHL's deadline for the Players' Association to accept its $42.5 million hard cap proposal has passed, and all signs point to commissioner Gary Bettman announcing the cancellation of the 2004-2005 season at a 1pm et/10am pt news conference in New York (live on TSN and TSN.ca). Neither side has contacted each other since late Tuesday night, when the NHL and the union stood pat with a $6.5 million gap.

He'll just have to sell one of his mansions to make up for it. 241469[/snapback] Of course, Mike Peca doesn't seem to understand (as you do) that "leadership" when used in connection with the NHLPA is best prefaced with the phrase "Don't step in the..." What a bunch of utter friggin' morons. If I were a NHL player, I'd be calling for the NHLPA "leadership" to be tarred and feathered by now...
stevestojan Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 10:57am...3 minutes...the anticipation is killing me!!!!! 241472[/snapback] I thought 1:00?

Like A Mofo Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I thought 1:00? 241486[/snapback] 11am was the deadline that Bettman imposed for the union to accept their $42.5M hard cap offer....Bettman's PC is scheduled for 1pm.....I know I may sound nuts, but a lot can happen in 2 hrs.

The league has already sent out memos to its teams that it has not contacted the union since Tuesday night, and the season will be cancelled.

I do not know if I will follow this league anymore if this becomes official..Im on the fence.
PastaJoe Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I think if they go to a 28 game season, each team will play a home and home with every team in their conferance, and then seed em 1-8 , without record to division, for the playoffs. An alternative schedule, if they wanted to keep with the divisional format, would be to play the 4 teams in your division 4 times, play 2 other teams in the conference 2 times, and play the remaining 8 conference teams 1 time. To play a home-and-home against every team in your conference would be a disadvantage for the West, who would have alot longer traveling.
Zamboni Man Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Wow. all over 6M per team, per year? !@#$ joke. Pathetic....6 million is going to be peanuts compared to the long term $$$ they're going to lose from missing the entire season.
LabattBlue Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Wow. all over 6M per team, per year? !@#$ joke. 241514[/snapback] not that I support the nhlpa, but from their perspective it's potentially $180 million less in salaries for the players as a group.
