Figures. What burns me is that they get so close in the space of a week, but because they sat around for so long, they couldn't save the season. If they had done these kinds of talks in September, I bet they could have saved 1/2 to 3/4 of the season. Frustrating as a fan.
I just hope they don't go back to their pre-Februray stances.
It's been poorly managed by everybody. Bettman and Goodenow are idiots. Canceling the season should never have been an option. They should have had a hard date to start the season with replacement players if they couldn't get a deal. The good news is that after these two clowns are done destroying the NHL they'll never work in hockey again.
