Yesterday was pretty frustrating for NHL fans. Instead of progress on the negotiating front, it was an opportunity for both the owners and players to publicly proclaim their resolve to fight for what's right... at least in their eyes.
The NHL and its player's association met for three hours on Wednesday in an attempt to come to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement, but a new proposal by the owners will come off the table if not accepted by the September 15 deadline.
We had a genuine exchange of volleys this week in the NHL CBA talks, as the NHLPA made their initial proposal and the owners pretty much blew it off.
There is still a chasm between the NHL's owners and players, despite the media buzz over the NHLPA's proposal yesterday.
