It's been a wild and crazy week in the wacky world of the NHL CBA "negotiations." Depending on who you believe, here's what went down.
LEAGUE: The "nice" owners from Pittsburgh and Toronto have convinced us to give you players everything you want. Here. *holds out sweet deal*
DON FEHR: Never! Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. *beats League to the podium and says two sides are so close they're on top of each other so he doesn't see what the problem is* *finalizes plans to destroy the game of hockey*
Or:
PLAYERS: Okay, let's give this owners/players only thing a try.
GARY BETTMAN: Our plan is working! *rubs hands together and cackles gleefully at Jeremy Jacobs.
PLAYERS: Can we just get Don to look at this?
LEAGUE: No.
PLAYERS: Can the negotiators come back to help us?
LEAGUE: No.
PLAYERS: Well, here's a few of our ideas.
BETTMAN: You weren't supposed to keep negotiating, you were just supposed to say "yes." Fuck you and all your horses. Everything we ever offered is now off the table! *tells media that Don Fehr is a lying scumbag and everything is his fault*
Or my personal favorite:
BILL DALY: Five year contracts are THE HILL WE WILL DIE ON.
PLAYERS AND OWNERS WHO HAVE SIGNED DEALS LONGER THAN FIVE YEARS: Whut?
He actually said "the hill we will die on."
MEDIA: We still think there will be a season. Hahahahaha.
I feel emotionally battered.
I also tweeted to JarPad for the second time now that it's a lockout, not a strike. Funny, I don't think he's listening to me.
( speaking of SPN )
Nev and I are heading to Cbus today. The girls and I were going to do a Snowflake 5K on Sunday, but it's going to rain, so probably not. It's raining now, which makes me want to just stay in bed all day.
