Make Whole, Not War (CBA & Lockout Discussion) XIX

[Crows*]

@TheFourthPeriod: As @JSportsnet tells us on @TFPLive, Bill Daly and Steve Fehr are still meeting.

[CerebralGenesis]

This would gain traction with Bettman and Donald Fehr out of the room. Leave them at home and we're playing hockey.

How do people know this? Isn't the location supposed to be secret? Are people watching for the pizza and beer delivery person?

Probably because someone in the room leaked it.

I think both sides should be locked in a North Korean gulag until a deal is reached.

The gulags in North Korea are actually suffering from a work stoppage; despite doubling of salaries the government locked them out, the prison guards demanding 57% of all entering food on the site. Mention of 'Canada Gumley' is bouncing out of korean twitter accounts as a potential responsible...

[AirheadPete]

Any idea when the.meeting started today? Had to be earlier this afternoon I would assume?

[Spezza19]

This meeting is going pretty long. This is encouraging

[Shrimper]

I'm just hoping that one day we'll wake up and they'll have agreed a deal.

If the only thing standing in the way is the player contracts then get negotiating for a December 1st start.

Since the location is unknown we probably wont know until a couple hours after when the meeting ends. Not like reporters are waiting outside for them now. For all we know the meeting ended already

We don't know when it started, and we won't know when it has ended. No reason to be encouraged.

You think this process has tainted my world view?

Sportsnet's intermission report said that they met in NY today and that little progress was made. John Shannon speculates that they are closer to coming to the same language on how 50/50 is defined than previously. They may meet again tonight. Not that much actual info was given.

If Daly and S.Fehr are future heads of each respective organization, that does bode well for the future. These guys were talking everyday at least.

I agree, at least they will be familiar with one another.

"Little Progress"

Same thing we hear every time, and the reason why I'm not optimistic anymore.

Bettman may go soon, Fehr just got the job...

Everyone else is extremely quiet. To my knowledge there haven't been any other people out there reporting on what happened and along with that, he really didn't say anything of substance.

[CBJBrassard16]

So.. The meeting is over?

I wonder how many people are just making stuff up now that borh sides have (allegedly) gone to silent running. Let's hope they stay quiet and keep meeting through the weekend.

Considering they wanted a secret location to be away from the media I doubt they would come out and say little progress today

Could be. You gotta keep in mind that this was John Shannon giving an update during the intermission of an AHL game on Sportsnet.
