Habsfan21 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Rogers is saying the league may ease up on the cap talk.... http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...126_122859_2272 One can hope, I guess..... PS Report also says there would be a 30 game season, with teams only playing games against each other in-confrence. Sooooo....If the season is started, at least I get to see my team here.

puck7x Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 The owners maybe backing down from their earlier proposals, and giving-in a bit, but the owners would definitely win the CBA war if this deal is accepted. They are getting much more of what they want compared to what the players want and are actually getting. Anyone think the players will accept this? Guess we'll have to wait and see... and speculate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadian Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Looks like it is not going to happen... They appear to be easing up on the amount but not on the principle of the CAP. It will require some give and take by both side to get this done and give us hockey back... I still think we do need a CAP of some sort to have *most* canadian teams stay alive... ie: edmonton... and even maybe get teams back in Winnipeg (Penguins anyone?) and even (GASP) Quebec City... Can they change enough?? BTW, would like to put a thanks out to the man for the sigs and avatars... KUDO's on the good job and great stuff.

Fanpuck33_ Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It's a bunch of us that make and collect avatars. The one you're using now I made from a picture taken in the Habs locker room in the Forum, which I visited shortly before the team moved.

I post freaquently on a Penguins Board, and no one there thinks the Pens are moving to Winnipeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadian Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Not specifically the Pengiuns but maybe 1 of the struggling teams in a non-hockey enviroment like Caroina, Panthers, Anaheim, Atlanta, San Jose, PHX... I am not knocking the teams or their fans but rather the premise of location. The teams are there because of money, not fans. if the calculation of money is overriding the fans( like us) we will heav teams in these places that play, do not fill the seats and struggle $$money$$ wise. If we have financial stability, places that have the fans can have the teams... Or so I hope... :?- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
