I don't know I'm slowly growing more pessimistic every week. You don't hire a Dung disturber like Fehr if you want a quick resolution. He's the Buzz Hargrove of sports labor.

This will go right to the wire. I'm hoping common sense prevails on both sides but Fehr hasn't changed his offer at all so far. If he keeps this up, we're losing a season.

Actually, I think Buzz Hargrove is the Buzz Hargrove of sports labor. He's been behind this clusterdiddle for a while now...

I happen to think it's a swell idea. A little surprised that the NHLFA didn't suggest this. Kudos to Clutch!

Not my idea. Just reporting the "facts". There's more going on than meets the eye. It seems that only SSF and I are privy to the real story.

HA! There's still time for an 82-game season I think if they can get a deal done by mid-Nov. It will be compressed... but it can be done.
