NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly announced the names of the owners who will be in attendance at the players/owners CBA meeting on Tuesday...
"We expect the following NHL owners to attend: Ron Burkle (Pittsburgh Penguins), Mark Chipman (Winnipeg Jets), Murray Edwards (Calgary Flames), Jeremy Jacobs (Boston Bruins), Larry Tanenbaum (Toronto Maple Leafs) and Jeff Vinik (Tampa Bay Lightning). We will make further details available when available and as appropriate."
Rangers owner James Dolan, who expressed his desire to attend the meeting, was obviously not chosen by the NHL to participate.
...and there you have it folks. One of the most powerful owners in the NHL, who helped end the NBA lockout last year, is denied access to this meeting despite wanting to join the talks. Guess Bettman is afraid to have an owner who might actually work to broker a deal attend this meeting.
According to Pro Hockey Talk, both the NHL and players were reportedly allowed to pick ...

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
The players emerged from the room around midnight and scurried down the hotel escalator past reporters, unwilling to share much, if anything.
The smiles on some of their faces, however, suggested it wasn’t a bad day at all.
As one player would later share via text message to ESPN.com, "There was certainly traction. But I don...

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,
There are two big storylines developing from Tuesday's lengthy labour talks between the NHL and the NHLPA here in Manhattan.
The first is that Steve Fehr, the NHLPA's number two, referred to yesterday as "the best day we've had." The second is the Pittsburgh contingent's effort to end the lockout. Let's take...

My point is this. I have talked to and met some of these guys. I don't think any one man, even Jeremy Jacobs, will be the reason these men don't get what they want...which is hockey to be played again...as one owner put it "If there is a date to get this done, that date is yesterday."

On Tuesday, six NHL owners met with a group of players in New York, just one day before the Board of Govenors meeting. The meeting went for about five hours, then had a dinner break, and concluded sometime around midnight. The sides met for more than eight hours. From the sounds of the meetings, this was a very constructive day. TSN'...

We are waiting today on whether or not the players will agree to a one on ones cage match with the owners this week. I am hearing an answer could be forthcoming and that there is already some talking between the sides regarding the rules and who will attend.
It is widely known the only owner the players are very much against being in these meetings is Jeremy Jacobs. While the...

With the season on the brink of destruction, and the loyalty of the fans wavering, the NHL is going to need to come up with some very creative marketing schemes to get fans back in the stands. I, along with many others, am fed up with the game of chicken that is going on in the negotiating room, and am particularly fed up with Jeremy Jacobs and his all-or-nothing...

Miller has made his feeling about Jacobs and the owners abundantly cleaqr during this NHL lockout. I feel like Miller is best suited to be one of six players at the table for these reasons...

I'm still not ready to say the 2012-13 season will be canceled. But I don't have much optimism about this week's NHLPA/NHL owners' meetings. I suspect both sides continuing to dig in their heel and more time being wasted. I felt that way even before it was confirmed that Jeremy Jacobs will be part of the meeting, and now...
