NEW YORK -- NHL labour talks remain in recess five days after negotiations broke down, and 10 days before the league has threatened to lock out its players.

There has been no word from either the NHL or the NHL Players' Association as to when negotiations will resume. The current deal is set to expire Sept. 15.

Talks broke off Friday after the two sides traded counteroffers.

Union chief Don Fehr said the NHLPA's proposal did not bear fruit. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman accused the union of stonewalling.

10 days and counting.......

I've given up counting. Completely and unapologetically negative towards the whole situation now.

Im actually really disappointed. I cant see this getting resolved at this stage with no talks scheduled. I was going to get UPC TV added to my broadband specifically to watch the season. Guess ill be saving €20 a month

This is going to be my 3rd NHL lockout. I'm pretty much prepared for the inevitable. This is the same posturing that we saw in the previous lockouts. There haven't been any surprises so far. The only thing that would surprise me would be if they were working around the clock to avoid a lockout.

The lack of action is amazing. The issues are not going to magically resolve themselves. It looks like we won't be seeing hockey for some time. Thank god, I am not in NY until next April.

DREGER: COMMON GROUND NEEDED TO ADVANCE CBA NEGOTIATIONS

There is risk of the entire 2012-2013 NHL season being wiped out.

Now that qualifies as fear mongering, but considering how entrenched both the league and the players' association are with less than 10 days until the expiration of the existing collective bargaining agreement, sources on both sides are accepting the loss of another season as a possibility.

Negotiations remain in a stalemate - with no plan to resume formal talks.

8 days and counting........

I'm getting NHL 13 next week will let you know who wins the Stanley cup next year

I'd say that be the only hockey I'll see on tv this year

And that when all the penguins seem in good health and ready to win another cup...

Aahhh well, at least football is on, go steelers

Yep, KHL has started and some of the other Euro leagues, so at least there will be something to keep us going.

I ended up buying that ticket for the Capitals home opener in October. I got it off Stubhub so at least if the season is delayed I get a full refund so I won't be out of pocket.

With the ****e coverage last year I kinda fell out of love with the NHL. Kinda hoping a lockout reignites my love for it
