10 Markets NHL’s New CBA Was Worth Fighting For

It’s been well documented with all of the numbers that have been thrown out there during the 2012-13 NHL lockout that just about all parties involved lost. There were no winners. There were a ton of criticisms out there especially toward the owners during much of the lockout. Many questioned if they were fighting for ...

Will the Flyers Use Their Buyouts Next Summer?

It feels great to be writing about actual hockey rather than collective bargaining. It’s been a grueling 113 days for fans, team employees, writers and players alike. With that said, there are a lot of details in the new CBA that we don’t know yet. We do however know about the 2 compliance buyouts that ...

Top Negotiators of NHL’s CBA An Embarrassment

There comes a point when ridiculous becomes even more ridiculous. This seems to happen every week in the NHL CBA negotiations. There is no doubt plenty of blame to go around on both sides, but all signs point to the egos at the very top being the reason we’re still not playing hockey. If you ...

Lockout Losses – NHL Players that Paid the Price

Bettman used the phrase back in 2005 shortly before cancelling the season. Will the season ...

Ovechkin Update From Overseas

In what appeared to be a Public Relations move by the National Hockey League last week, the so-called 50-50 split of revenue offered to the NHLPA, was counter proposed in three different offers to the NHL, only to be rejected in ten minutes. An end to this labor dispute appears to be once again on ...

How Are NHL Players Getting Paid During the Lockout

The NHL players have been locked out by the league while negotiations continue on the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.  That means $1.8 billion dollars in contracts are currently going unpaid. But not all the players are going without paychecks. Let’s take a look at who’s still bringing home the bacon: Injured Players Players who were injured ...

NHL Players Simply Cannot Cave This Time

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. That’s probably the saying going through the head of every member of the NHL Players Association at this time. In 2005, The NHL Board of Governors broke the backs and spirits of the players association and executive director Bob Goodenow. After the governors ...
