Hey pens fans,
No negotiations took place today. Meetings are to resume tomorrow in Toronto. The only thing I have heard is that the players are divided and most are not with Goodenow. I'm not sure how valid that info is,but I have heard it often.

Nothing
Hey pens fans,
Nothing. That is exactly what I have heard about the meeting. I cannot find anything. My guess is that might be a good sign because that could mean they are too busy negotiating to say anything. Okay, so that may be a tad optimistic, but I can hope, right? Well, I am going camping and will be without the internet for a few days. I should be back sometime monday if all goes as planned. No meetings for the cba are scheduled next week as of yet. Check out the sites in my link field for info while i'm gone.

statement
Hey pens fans,
At the conclusion of today's meeting in Chicago, National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) Senior Director Ted Saskin released the following statement:“We just completed two days of meetings focused on revenue measurement and reporting issues. There is a lot more information to be exchanged between the parties and I expect Bob and Gary will be scheduling further meetings shortly.”
Also, there have been alot of rumors flying around out there about the on going negotiations. Some say the deal is close and others are saying that many of the major details have been set. I have not be able to find any rumor in more than one place so i do not feel them to be credible at this time. What I can say is that everything I have been hearing has been positive in nature. I do not have enough information to speculate further at this time, but I will keep trying to find out more.

Positive Vibes
Hey pens fans,
I"m back from my little trip without internet. Over the weekend the proceedings were still said to have been positive. Everywhere I turn I read or hear something good about last weeks meetings. Everything, though I have no specifics, has been said to be falling into place and that the parts are going together nicely. Let's hope it continues that way.

And so it goes
Hey pens fans,
I have not heard anything about what happened with the steroid issues in D.C. that Gary and Bob went to meet with congress about. Also, many sources are saying that the meetings have been going well, but that has been said many times before. I have nothing new on any specifics. The meetings are scheduled to continue this week.

It's Good to be in D.C.
Hey pens fans,
Well, yesterday's meetings were said to be productive, with the league and the PA discussing the economics of the game. Today, Goodenow and Bettman are in D.C. with congresss discussing the steroid issue in hockey, because of the recent steroid abuse issues in the other sports. Maybe while there this lockout thing may come up and maybe we could get somewhere, but if not the tlaks are set to continue with both sides "commited" to getting this done.

WBS Pens eliminated from the AHL playoffs
Hey pens fans,
Well, the WBS Pens were winning by a score of 4-1 in the 3rd period and by the end of the 3rd period they managed to lose by a score of 7-4 to the Philly Phantoms. This was one of the biggest and worst collapses that I have ever heard. (Iwas listening online.) They was a complete and total breakdown. The details are too ugly to specify. It was just BAD. Well, the Pens season is over. This means that there is officially no hockey left to watch if you are a Pens Fan, which means its back to CBA updates for me and not much else. FYI posts may be sparse the next few days. Its finals week at school, so sadly I must study and then I will be moving from my dorm, but I will still try to get important info posted, in as timely a matter as I can.

credibility and wbs
Hey pens fans,
Well, the latest I have heard is nothinig new. I have not heard anything on the most recent meetinig. I have however, found quite a few sources reporting things from the past meetings, which I have already posted. Which would make them more credible and more likely that they are true. Reminder to the WBS Pens fans, the baby pens will play tonight in game 4 of the series. They are currently down 2 games to 1 in the series.

Meetings
Hey pens fans,
Meetings betweeen the PA and the league are to take place in New York and Toronto this week. Pending the outcome of those meetings, the 2 sides may still meet in Austria. Congresses involvment in sports with the steroid issues in sports will probably not effect the CBA talks.
