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.
