No NHL Settlement

Earlier this week, it looked like the NHL might get back on the ice, with union negotiators stating that the two sides were close to resolving the lockout.  Soon thereafter, the NHL left a voicemail message not only rejecting the players' latest offer, but also claiming that the league was taking most to all of it's previous offers off the table.

Needless to say, hockey fans shouldn't be holding their breaths that they'll see any NHL this year--it's not looking good at all.
