Though the day, month, and year has changed, everything surrounding the
NHL has remained the same - it ended 2012 in a lockout, and it has begun 2013 with no change in its status.
Both the league and the
NHLPA are still trying to put together a new CBA while the players have endured 108 days of not practicing, playing games, and subsequently not getting paid.
No one can tell for sure if the last three days of phone calls, communications, and meetings related to a
recent offer made by the NHL to the Union last Thursday will help push everything over the edge.
On Monday, the NHLPA offered a counterproposal to the league and
delivered it with players in attendance as has been their operating procedure throughout this process.
With that, the
NHL has taken its time to review the Union's submission on Tuesday which is still ongoing.
Does this signal the beginning of the end of the lockout?
Maybe or maybe not.
Spin the wheel and make your bets.
