The owners are refusing anything that isn't a salary cap. The 24% across-the-board reduction offer shows that the players aren't just greedy punks wanting more.

 

Salary caps aren't all they're cracked up to be...look at the NBA. Aside from Detroit, when's the last team to win that wasn't pretty obviously going to before the year started? And how many teams enter the season knowing they have zero hope of rings?

You're exactly right. And even if it is just a temporary solution, it's one that even Bettman admited would be good enough for a few years. You put that into place and then, oh gee, imagine this... SIT DOWN AND TALK and get something more permanent into place while still playing hockey. It CAN and SHOULD be done that way. Get your freakin' act together, owners! They players have offered... they have tried... you are stubborn! :D

Another point I meant to bring up...everybody thinks pro ticket prices are high because of the players' salaries.

 

Would the NHL have cut ticket prices by 24% if they'd accepted the offer? Heck no.

    • Looks like South Pittsburg added some more talent!  
    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
