"Today, we concluded two days of mediation with FMCS mediators and representatives of the NHL Players' Association.

We are disappointed that the mediation process was not successful."

?Today, players and NHLPA staff, along with representatives of the league, concluded a second day of mediation under the auspices of the FMCS. This afternoon, the mediators informed the parties that they did not think it was productive to continue the discussions further today. The mediators indicated that they would stay in contact with the league and the NHLPA, and would call the parties back together when they thought the time was right.?

Any sense of satisfaction I'd get out of watching the Leaf's pathetic attempt at making the playoffs is vastly over shadowed by the satisfaction that the players and the league are losing money.  Every time I hear the negotiations didn't worked, it's music to my ears.  Screw the NHL.

I keep hearing about the league's proposal or the PA's proposal.  How about a fan's proposal?
  • Limit of $25 a ticket.
  • Limit of $5 for a beer.
  • During home games, players must make themselves available for two hours to sign autographs for their fans.
  • Player salaries to be between $1,000,000 to $250,000.
  • No instigator rule.
  • Immediate 3 game ban for swearing, insulting, or acting in a manner not suitable for kids.
[*]Percentage of profit to be split based on player's stats.
[/list]

So...essentially you're looking for a league that features nothing but drunken brawls in the stands.
 
Personally, as much as I love hockey, I'd just as soon they shut the whole thing down for the year. The ridiculousness of this is farcical soap-opera has gone on long enough.
 
I believe the owners - players meeting only could actually bring some results, and if it did, they could fire both Betman and Fehr  ;D
 
It's over... no way does this get settled for a season this year.. Id definitely be back when they finally play.. But have reached a point of don't care right now and am getting along fine without the NHL so far

Heck, the last tickets I bought to the local junior team cost me $25 and the beer was certainly more than 5 bucks.

Bring back the mediators to oversee this, and it would be worth a shot.
