- Michael Russo via twitter: The Winter Classic was to be cancelled today, but the NHL offices are closed today and tomorrow because of Hurricane Sandy, so it might be delayed.
- Louis Jean via twitter: There are no meetings scheduled between the NHL and NHLPA. Jean wouldn’t be surprised if it stayed that way for a while.
- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: Bill Daly: “We withdrew our most recent proposal on Friday, and now we are spending time thinking about our next proposal and how best to get closer to a resolution. We hope the Union is doing the same thing. Given the that the Union refused even to discuss our last proposal, it would appear that we still have a large gulf to bridge.”
- Pierre LeBrun via twitter: Steve Fehr: “Since the last bargaining meeting on October 18, we have consistently made it clear to the League that we are ready to meet and are willing to discuss all ideas, certainly including their last proposal. The league has unfortunately continued to decline to meet. Their position makes it difficult to move the process forward, as it is obviously hard to make progress without talking.”
