League Proposes 50-50 Revenue Split

If this goes through, I will shart all over everything everywhere in a fit of joy.

"SAN JOSE -- With hopes of salvaging an 82-game regular season, the NHL improved its offer at the bargaining table Tuesday with a proposal that reportedly calls for a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenue and no salary rollbacks.

NHL Players Association executive director Don Fehr said the union would study the latest offer, hold a conference call with its executive committee at 2 p.m. PDT and get back to the league Tuesday or Wednesday.

The league locked out its players Sept. 15 when the existing collective bargaining agreement expired. It gave players 57 percent of league revenue, but the NHL's initial offer this time dropped the figure to 43 percent.

Details on other contentious issues such as revenue sharing or length of contracts have yet to be disclosed.

But multiple reports from Toronto, where the sides met for the first time in four days, indicate that both sides consider this progress with the potential to be productive.

The league has said that the new offer is predicated on being able to complete an 82-game regular season with a schedule that would begin Nov. 2.

In the 1994-95 season, the NHL needed nine days from agreement on a new contract to prepare for a revised opening day. With many players, including nine Sharks, competing in Europe, some time is also required for players to return to what would be compressed training camps."

Old news.

Rttp is back to normal. ::sigh of relief::

Lockout's over fuckheads.

shutup fagget.

This lock out hasn't affected me in the least.

Thanks for telling us, then coming back two hours later to tell us again.

I'm excited about it. It will be awesome to jump right into hockey after the Super Bowl.

Yeah I had given up any hope of a season. It won't be the same without a full season. I mean, it's hard to call a team Stanley cup champs without a full season but fuck it, I can't wait to get drunk and call the Canadians a bunch of faggots.

The wife and I are already talking about calling the Bruins to get tickets. Those assholes still have a $200 deposit from us from two years ago.

Wore my Bruins shirt today in honour of this.

and used the Queens English spelling of honour, CLASSY

Good man.

If I didn't have work today, I definitely would've worn my Bergeron Stanley Cup Finals shirt. INB4 I get called a pussy. Either way, I'm beyond excited for hockey to be back.

Bruins have the most players active during the break and their roster is nearly identical to last year with a obvious minus in Tim Tom. Every game matters specially those early points. gotta good feeling.

ONLY CALLING TICKET MASTER ON A ROTARY DIAL PHONE FOR METALLICA'S POOR TOURING ME LOAD TOUR IN 96 IS REAL.

What the fuck are doing right now? Making the schedule? Is it true that they are expanding to bigger playoff system?

Last I heard was a 24 team playoff

Sooooo....12 teams from each conference? Is there a wild card or something? The math doesn't add up to me...6 paired for a quarter final? Round robin final round? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON BETTMAN.

Just looked it up. No expanded playoffs.

THANK YOU MIKEY POOH.
Stoked for hockey, there were no sports on last night. Like I set a fucking reminder to watch some bum Polaska heavy weight boxer fight some other bum when in reality Tuesday is usually always Bruins night. I'm lost. The AHL games are a cheap date but I watched the Sharks and Baby B's go 9 fucking rounds in a shootout a few weeks ago, REALLY? 9 ROUNDS? Kevin Garnett is the biggest badass in town right now all because he told Carmello his wife tasted like HONEY NUT CHEERIOS. No NBA should ever be the biggest badass in ANY city. YOU GUYS FIGHT LIKE GIRLS. RONDO +2 CAT SCRATCH FEVER.
BLOOD.SPEED.ICE.

hahaha. BACKED.

:/

Didn't tuuka rask sprain his penis again overseas? Will he play?

Yea he already practiced over at BU with some of the team.

Rask is a nasty drummer, apparently.

Rask listens to Beherit, true fax

Haha I knew he was into metal. I figured he was a spinefarm fanboy though.

We should seek him out for a demo release.

Someone make a Tuuka Rask extreme metal logo shirt, let's make some money. Copyright ME.

hahaha. great idea. I know a girl who's a metal fan and hockey fan that would probably do it.

Tuukka fucked my friend's friend right before that groin injury last season.

nikki?

I've been so excited to watch the Pens and Flyers. Fucking hurry up 7pm.
