Gary, doesn't seem either side is too concerned with your deadlines.

I know I will definitely not be attending games...I'll watch my team on TV but that's it and no merchandise purchases. Just out of principal I will not spend my money on overpriced tickets, stale beer and bad food to support a league that can't properly manage itself and who set-up losing teams in the south at the expense of locations in the north.

The National Hockey League will withdraw its latest CBA proposal to the NHL Players' Association once Thursday's deadline to finalize a new deal passes.

There were no talks held between both sides on Thursday and none have been held since last week's NHL proposal and counter-proposals from the NHLPA.

"When we delivered the proposal last Tuesday, we told them it would be on the table through today," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com Thursday afternoon. "Having not reached agreement through today, I expect that we'll formally notify the union Friday that the proposal is no longer on the table. We're going to take it back internally and figure out where we go from here."

Daly also emphasized that he was not threatening the players in any way, but underlying what the league had already told the the NHLPA last Tuesday when it delivered the proposal.

"This proposal no longer works because it was a proposal to save 82 games," Daly said. "We have to re-think where we are, and what type of season we're looking at, and we have to formulate and construct a proposal that makes sense for the reality of where we are."

James Mirtle thinks that they are closer than NHL believes

I really wish the NHLPA would stop calling themselves a union!

[Tyler McIntosh]

You players are already making millions of dollars plus a percentage of the HRR...what else do you guys want? How about let the owners give raises to the arena employees instead of owners giving it to the players?
