agent on NHLPA: “Back in 2004, the NHLPA was synonymous with apathy. That's changed since then. It’s a whole new world right now."

Fehr & NHLPA want revenue sharing but have to believe there are numerous NHL owners who oppose that, or at least a few of the big ones

Bettman points out MLB's 8 work stoppages. Mentions player strike before World Series. Mark today as the day it got ugly.

Here are some of the tweets that I found today that relate to the NHL CBA Negoiations - as most of you know already, talks broke off today and it appears that there is a huge gap between the NHLPA and the NHL owners. While there is still time to get a new CBA agreement in place it would appear that is not going to happen and the fans should think about making other plans for at least the start of the hockey season. This is beginning to look a like 2004-05 all over again.
Players indicating NHL 1st CBA proposal looked to reduce player salaries by 24%, 2nd proposal by 19.3%.Reason for NHLPA counter today#tsn
