lockout
Twitter exploded Wednesday night when it was announced that a podium had been set up in New York by the NHL.
Wednesday was a major day for the NHL lockout. After what seemed like solid talks on Tuesday between the players and owners, the two sides reconvened before the Board of Governors meetings.
The NHL lockout negotiations seemingly hit a brick wall this week when federal mediation failed to find compromise between the two sides. However, it seems that neither side has given up on the possibility of finding a solution.
The termination of the 2012-13 NHL season ahs become a great possibility after federal mediation between the league and player's association failed.
The NHL has now entered day 75 of its 2012-13 lockout. The league and the player's union (NHLPA) are slated to resume negotiations on Thursday in the presence of two mediators.
With the cancellation of the 2012-13 season becoming a greater possibility, both sides in the current lockout have decided to allow federal mediation to help out with negotiations.
The NHL Lockout is now over 70 days old and with no dates set for meetings, questions have begun to surface about alternative plans.
The news regarding the NHL Lockout gets only worse as the NHL announced that it would be cancelling the 2012-13 season up until December 14 and All-Star Weekend.
The NHL lockout is closing in Day 70 and with December right around the corner, the 2012-13 season is slowly dying away forever.
Last week, the NHL stated that they wanted a two week moratorium from negotiations.
Late last week, the NHL announced interest in taking a two week break from negotiation. However, Sunday, the two sides came to an agreement to start negotiating once more on Monday in hopes of not losing the 2012-13 season.
Wednesday saw the 60th day of the 2012 NHL lockout pass without any activity. Worse still is the fact that there have been no meetings scheduled for the near future either.
On Monday night, the NHL had a major reason to celebrate despite entering the 58th day of the lockout.
Despite announcing on Monday that little progress was made on the NHL Lockout after a week of negotiations, NHLPA director Steve Fehr seems to have changed his stance.
