[QUOTE=STONE.;1041597]Maybe the two sides did reach an agreement, and they are opting to further paint Fehr and Bettman as the villains by allowing it to get "resolved" in an owner-player only meeting.

A guy can dream, right?[/QUOTE


This thing is really starting to sound like the '04-'05 lock out. Different issues, but its really looking just like it. Same tactics. Same crap.

This was a dumb idea from the begining. The owners aren't going to let some guy tell them what they should or shouldn't do. They are just too arrogant for that. This was just a PR move and the fans and players know it. Yadda, yadda yadda.

I really thought this would of been settled by the end of October, but I under estimated the owners. Its their way or no way. This looks like it could go a while yet.
