Good for the goose....
In his interview on WFAN NHLPA chief Bob Goodenow was asked pointedly about the players in Europe who were put out of their jobs by the high priced locked out NHL talent that went over to play while the league was embroiled in collective bargaining disputes. Goodenow said that hockey is competitive and that if his players couldn't play in the NHL they have a right to seek employment elsewhere, even if it meant European players went jobless.
It'll be interesting if he takes the same attitude if the NHL looks to use replacement players on the eve of next season if there is no CBA agreement. I guess it'll be okay for the replacement players since they have the same right to play.

Hey Hey, let's not call the season cold and dead already. If my eyes and ears aren't deceiving me, it looks like the owners and players both gave some significant ground and an agreement will be reached. There is talk that the season will NOT be cancelled and that they'll be able to have a 2004-2005 season. Talk about coming out of the blue. If only baseball could have done this in 1994 we still might be watching the Expos this year.
Nothing doing. Six hours of meetings and they're still far apart according to ESPN.
