For hockey coverage, the Washington Post Sports Section does not compare to the likes of The Boston Globe, the Toronto Globe and Mail or the Montreal Gazette. Today's Post, however, has a terrific article from baseball guru Tom Boswell who does a terrific job summarizing Donald Fehr's approach to the CBA negotiations. Here's an excerpt, "Hiring Don Fehr, the Sun Tzu of jock labor, to face NHL owners in a lockout is like getting the Godfather to help you fix a parking ticket." Details can be read at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/capitals/nhl-lockout-owners-shouldnt-underestimate-the-fehr-factor/2012/11/21/7529ec82-341b-11e2-bb9b-288a310849ee_story.html At some point the NHL leadership will understand they are dealing with a highly solidified NHLPA led by a loaded gun.
Another interesting article in the Toronto Globe and Mail discusses the numbers from the latest NHLPA offer http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/globe-on-hockey/the-nhlpa-proposal-by-the-numbers/article5530468/ As this article points out, the make whole amount from the NHLPA is $393M and the make whole amount from the NHL is $211M - a difference of $182M. Here's a brainstorming thought, how about we agree on $300M and get the season started?
