NEW YORK -- Any goodwill built during an extended run of collective bargaining talks between the NHL and NHL Players Association quickly evaporated Friday. The sides emerged red-faced and frustrated after hitting a road block during their fourth consecutive day together at the bargaining table. The league and union looked to be moving slowly towards a deal after trading proposals earlier in the week, but ended up exchanging some heated words after discovering they were still about US$380 million apart on economics. "We looked at some of the numbers on the various proposals and we thought we were much closer together on the structure of a deal than the suggestions were," said NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr. "They came back to us and said, No, were very, very far apart on the structure of a deal." There were no further bargaining sessions scheduled, but Fehr remained hopeful they would pick up talks again Saturday. The fundamental issue they are trying to bridge is agreeing to a system where the players overall share in revenue can be drastically reduced while ensuring all existing contracts are honoured. The leagues most recent offer would see players receive US$211-million guaranteed in deferred "make-whole" payments -- not nearly enough to satisfy the union. "If the notion is that they are honouring all of the contracts and everybodys going to get paid everything they were supposed to be paid according to the letter of the contracts, its of course not true and never has been," said Fehr. "I dont quite know where that notion came from." A week that started with the sides agreeing to meet at an undisclosed location and refrain from making public comments didnt end quite as quietly. Sources indicated that the league was also frustrated with the lack of progress, although Bettman remained even-keeled during a short session with reporters. Now presiding over the third lockout of his tenure, he refused to characterize the status of negotiations. "I dont want to either raise or lower expectations," said Bettman. "I wont be happy until we get to the end result and that means were playing again." Beneath the surface, there is plenty of tension to be found. Fehr found himself defending his leadership after a memo he sent to players was leaked to reporters and a report later surfaced that the league didnt believe he was doing an adequate job of informing his constituents about exactly what was being proposed. Flanked by a handful of players who attended Fridays bargaining session, he pointed out that only the four owners on the NHLs bargaining committee have attended meetings. "Owners cant come to meetings when they want to to hear stuff directly but every single player can at the unions expense," said Fehr. "He can come and hear for himself, make the judgments, and all the rest of it." It wasnt a good day for those who are hoping to see the NHL begin a shortened season soon. There had been some hope that talks were progressing, especially with the sides locked in their longest run of negotiations since CBA talks began more than four months ago. Bettman did note that its always "better to be together and talk" before slipping in a proviso: "When theres something to talk about." In addition to their disagreement on the "make whole" provision, the sides are still grappling with proposed changes to rules governing contracts. The league hasnt backed off any of the demands made in its Oct. 18 proposal, according to sources, and the union continues to believe it shouldnt have to make concessions in those areas because it has committed to seeing the players share in revenue decreased. The NHL and NHLPA are attempting to strike a deal that would end the 55-day lockout, which has already forced the cancellation of 327 regular-season games and delivered considerable damage to the leagues business. There seems to be some commitment to continuing talks. Its possible that the negotiations will run through the weekend and force Bettman and Fehr to miss the Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Toronto. However, that will only happen if the sides can start playing a little nicer -- and making a little progress. "(Were prepared to do) whatever it takes," said Bettman. "Were available and, as I said, were waiting to hear back from the players association in terms of when theyll be ready." That answer wasnt readily available after a rough day of negotiations. "I dont know what will happen next," said Fehr. wholesale jerseys from china .

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic struggled during much of their game against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night, playing sloppily on offence and failing to contain Andrea Bargnani at the rim. But a four-minute stretch in the fourth quarter made everything all better. The Magic went on a late 16-0 run, led by the shooting of Ryan Anderson -- who finished with 24 points -- to erase a double-digit deficit and defeat the Raptors 102-96. Orlando shot 4 for 5 from three-point range during the burst, with Anderson making two of them, as the Magic took a 94-89 lead with 3:05 left after trailing by as many as 16 points. "We sort of couldve just given up, but we kept pushing through it," Anderson said. "This was huge for us." Dwight Howard had 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Magic, who have won four straight since a season-opening loss to Oklahoma City. J.J. Redick added 21 points and Hedo Turkoglu had 15 points and seven assists. "I thought we played a great fourth quarter," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "Our intensity level went way up." Bargnani paced the Raptors with 28 points, and Jose Calderon had 18 points and 13 assists. It was the second consecutive late collapse by the Raptors, who also gave up a second-half lead to Dallas on Friday. "I dont really have an explanation as to why this game got away," Calderon said. "Its tough. Its kind of like the same thing that happened with Dallas. Theyre two veteran teams. They know how to play in those moments. Weve got to learn from that." Bargnani, who scored only three of his 28 points in the fourth period, was disappointed with his teams showing. "We really made the game for three quarters; we played good offence and great defence," he said. "But we didnt play that way in the fourth quarter. We played really bad." The Magic shot 44.4 per cent from three-point range and were 5 for 7 from long range in the fourrth quarter.dddddddddddd After the Raptors built another double-digit lead in the second half and looked to be on their way to a road upset, the Magic shots began falling while the Raptors offence stalled. Turkoglu made a layup to cut the Raptors lead to 89-80, then Anderson and Redick made three-pointers. Howard converted a layup off a pass from Jameer Nelson, followed by three-pointers from Anderson and Turkoglu to force Toronto into a timeout down 94-89. The Raptors missed all five of their shots and committed three turnovers during the run. They didnt score between the 7:48 and 2:47 marks of the fourth quarter. "It was the defensive end of the floor," Van Gundy said. "Youre not going to come close to trading baskets and get back in the game, so you obviously have to make plays at both ends. You have no margin for error. But your defence has got to be great, and ours was going down the stretch. To be down 11 going into the fourth and get that done, we played a great game in the fourth quarter." The Raptors took a double-digit lead late in the first quarter behind some strong shooting from Calderon and Bargnani. The Magic responded, going up 40-39 after a 12-2 run midway through the second quarter that included eight points from Anderson. Bargnani led all scorers with 19 points after two quarters of play. NOTES: Nelson returned for the Magic after missing one game with a neck spasm. He finished with nine points. ... Toronto guard Jerryd Bayless didnt play because of a sprained ankle he sustained Friday against Dallas. Theres no definite timetable for his return. ... Calderon surpassed the 3,000-assist mark. ...
