Has anyone else heard the rumors about Fehrs master plan for the cap?

Lol not happening. The biggest bargaining chip the players had was a potential strike, when they started that they lost any edge in negotiations they might have had. Owners can wait as long as they want, they have another source of income, the players can't afford that luxury. No matter what they agree to, the players will ultimately lose in any deal they make. Whenever there is a strike the players never win, look at '05 when they went from no cap to a fixed cap. The owners won that deal and there's NO WAY they want to go back to a no cap era where player salaries are increased exponentially.

This year would be so much better if hockey was on. i still cant get over the fact that the winter classic is dead. If there is even hope of a season left i dont know i think just all the fans would be extremely bitter about it. Although i wouldnt mind being able to see the jets play down here in Anaheim.

So, latest scuttlebutt is that Bettman is trying to get owners/players only meeting. Apparently he's tired of dealing with Fe-Wall-hr (yes, that's a chemistry pun) for whatever reason x y or z.

That meeting should be funny. Like a father having that condescending "son, you need to get your crap together" talk.

Wonder if the players will stand so "united" when the average player is getting screwed out of 100% of his paycheck while the megastars keep the strike going because they don't want to lose their rich deals.

Really hard to have any sympathy for anyone in this, maybe except the majority of the NHLPA members, guys who *aren't* the megastars. Of course, of the stars who decided to jump to other leagues to "stay in shape" (*cough* get a paycheck *cough*), it's funny that two of the league's biggest names (Crosby and Stamkos) aren't because, oh, I don't know, they're not hypocritical d-bags? But even they, in the face of a season long lockout are starting to look at options. Doesn't bode well.

Oh, and good find Engle on that article.

Desertification?

Right, anyways... Wouldn't a decertification be better for the fans that want to see hockey games again? If the union decertifies, what else is left to stop the players from playing? Oh well, lockout didn't work, go right on back to making a million dollars a year. With a decertified union, that means no more union dues, meaning they would make more money, problem solved. It's not like the players are being mistreated...

NHL lockout update: NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will address the media at approximately 1 p.m. ET Wednesday afternoon.

HUGE NEWS! Good or bad, nobody knows yet. This news comes after the players and owners met yesterday in NYC without the presence of Fehr and Bettman. So this either means there's gonna be hockey in December or there's gonna be no hockey this year. PLEASE LET THERE BE HOCKEY!

Great Look! Sorry if I don't sound so optimistic but it seems like the NHL and the NHLPA are still quite a bit away from reaching an agreement. I want Hockey back and I want to see Madison Square Garden come to life. However, as of now we can only hope that they will reach an agreement soon. This isn't the best thing that could have happened, but it is certainly not the worst.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
