2012-13 Chicago Blackhawks/NHL/Stink Bowman should be FYERRED Thread

Anyone who honestly thinks Scotty Bowman will bend to pressure from John McDonough is sorely mistaken.

Scotty? The power behind the throne?

Yeah. He had his guy run Q's practice to try fixing the power play.

Anyone who thinks meatball's have rationality are themselves irrational.

When I say management I mean Wirtz and the hockey operations people, aka Scotty Bowman.

Like Fork said, if Scotty Bowman got any lip from McDonough he'd have quit the Hawks long ago.

Whoever's up for a street hockey game, meet me on top of the parking garage at the Forks at 4PM. Need the best in Winnipeg for my team.

I'll be taking on @mrichie_10's team at 4PM at the Forks. Re-opening the wound from 2010. Should I bring my ring? Who's in?

(If you guys need Buff's stick, you might try checking here.)

There's at least word that they've agreed on some stuff.

Also, today the NHLPA's making an offer to the owners, which is expected to include the players moving off setting hard dollar amounts for "make whole" and going with a percentage, like the owners have held the line on. There's a pretty good chance the train is finally pulling into the station on this one, unless the owners do another 30 minute rejection.

I disagree. They'll dismiss it and cancel games through mid-December. Season definitely not over.

I guess we're going to find out in a minute. My twitter feed is fucked up though.

This was not a good idea.

This was not a good idea.

But sure to be nominated for a Chicago Emmy.

Mediation. Last time they had a mediator, the season was cancelled 3 days later.
