NEW YORK -- The NHL wants to see everything put in writing. Luka Modric Real Madrid Jersey . With negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement seemingly at a stalemate, the league met with the NHL Players Association on Monday night and requested that the union put all of its desires together into one complete offer. "Its our position that weve made a couple comprehensive proposals in a row," said deputy commissioner Bill Daly. "Wed like to know where they are on all of the issues. We asked them to think about putting together a comprehensive proposal for us to consider. ... "Weve never heard a full proposal from them." The unions response should dictate if the sides will formally start negotiating their way through the key issues. A source close to the negotiations says there now seems to be a sense of urgency coming from the players and indications are the NHLPA is preparing a series of "give and take" proposals. If the NHLPAs series of proposals materializes and addresses some concerns, talks on contract issues will pick up. Donald Fehr, the NHLPAs executive director, was guarded with his comments coming out of the Monday evening session he initiated. He indicated the leagues request would be taken into consideration and said "its more likely than not" the sides will meet again Tuesday. It was unclear whether he would table a new proposal that covers the split of revenue, player contract rights and how the damage caused by the lockout will be paid for. "I dont really know what to expect," said Daly. "We asked, I certainly hope its something theyll consider. I think thats something theyre deliberating on." With frustration building and the lockout dragging into its ninth week, the sides have struggled to find a way forward in negotiations. Fehr and commissioner Gary Bettman discussed the possibility of taking a break from talks last week, but Fehr thought it would be best if the sides continued to meet. However, after requesting Mondays meeting the union didnt arrive with a new offer. Instead, Fehr was hoping to engage the league in a discussion on core economics and player contract issues. "We could have taken a couple weeks off, I suppose," he said. "Its hard for me to see how you make an agreement if you arent talking and so you talk. Sometimes it doesnt lead anywhere, perhaps very often it doesnt lead anywhere, but if you arent talking its 100 per cent sure it doesnt lead anywhere." Neither side has demonstrated a willingness to start trading concessions at the bargaining table. While the union maintains the gap on economic issues isnt very wide, the league isnt quite so sure. The NHL is asking for a straight 50-50 split of revenues while the NHLPA has proposed seeing the players share jump in fixed increments of 1.75 per cent each season starting from the $1.883-billion they took in last year. That offer didnt include the mechanism that would be used to account for the reduced revenue generated during a shortened 2012-13 season. "They are trying to suggest to us that were a lot closer than we think we are," said Daly. "So, if theyre at $1.9-whatever billion, I think we calculated it as 65 per cent of (hockey related revenue) this year. Obviously, that would be a long way from 50 per cent. "We want to see if they can wrap something up and give it to us." The league is also looking for changes to rules governing entry-level deals, contract lengths and arbitration. On Monday night, Fehr presented details of a proposal designed to penalize teams who sign players to front-loaded, long-term contracts in the event they retire early -- an area the NHL could have interest in. With talks resuming for the first time since Nov. 11 and the league expected to cancel more regular-season games this week, there was no shortage of interest in the process. Eighteen players attended the session, including highly-paid veterans Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Brad Richards and Shawn Horcoff. Each of those players has already lost one season of his career to the 2004-05 lockout. "Players are very interested and we tell anybody that wants to come they can come and Im glad to have all of them," said Fehr. "I think its a reflection of how interested and involved the players are." Members of the union have taken public shots at the NHLs leadership in recent days. On Monday afternoon, Florida Panthers forward Kris Versteeg invoked strong language while suggesting Bettman and Daly should be fired during an interview on TSN Radio 1050. "Youve got to look for the cancers and youve got to cut out the cancers," said Versteeg. "I think when you look at Bill Daly and Gary Bettman theyve been looting this game for far too long." That came just days after Detroit Red Wings defenceman Ian White told reporters that he thinks Bettman is an "idiot." However, Daly doesnt think those comments are hurting the negotiations. "I dont think either Gary or I take those personally," he said. "(We) understand theres a lot of frustration in this process. Im frustrated in terms of being where we are and not playing hockey. "I think thats just human nature." Gareth Bale Jersey . JOHNS, N. Karim Benzema Jersey .

A surprisingly good ice rink was straight ahead, glistening in the Hollywood night. "We felt like rock stars," Anaheim defenceman Ben Lovejoy said. "That was by far the coolest feeling Ive ever had playing hockey." After all the spectacle and sensation of the NHLs first warm-weather outdoor game, Jonas Hiller and the Ducks demonstrated whos on top of this rivalry -- with or without a roof. Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey scored first-period goals, and the Ducks beat the Kings 3-0 at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night. Hiller made 36 saves in his 20th career shutout as the league-leading Ducks dominated the landmark meeting of Southern Californias two hockey teams under the stars in Chavez Ravine. Andrew Cogliano added an empty-net goal with 1:29 left to close this unusual chapter in the NHLs expanded slate of outdoor games. "Its a little different playing out here, but its nothing that threw us off," Hiller said. The league threw a California carnival for the event: People in shorts and tank tops played Frisbee and practiced yoga between periods while skateboarders rolled past a ball hockey court featuring youth teams. Although the temperature was 63 degrees with significant humidity when Wayne Gretzky dropped the first puck, the ice held up fairly well in the night air. The Ducks had no problems adjusting to the new sightlines and backgrounds while shutting out the Kings. "It was maybe a little slower than some rinks, but it was smooth," Anaheims Teemu Selanne said. "Were used to not-good ice out (West) anyway. The whole package was incredible. You dont have that many chances to play in front of 55,000 people. This was pretty high on my bucket list." The Ducks earned their 21st victory in 24 games, beating Los Angeles for the second time in three days. The Kings lost their fifth straight game. The Kings hosted the first official outdoor game west of the Rocky Mountains in recognition of the NHLs near half-century in Los Angeles and their rivalry with the Ducks, who joined the league two decades ago. And though this game bore little resemblance to the snowbound outdoor contests in northern climes, the excited fans and enthused players embraced this unorthodox version of pond hockey with gusto. "I cant see any reason we shouldnt do this more," Selanne said. "The quality of hockey was greatt. Nacho Fernandez Jersey. Im going to remember this." The teams wore specially designed jerseys for the game, with the Kings crown logo dominating their grey jerseys while the Ducks sported bright orange. After a day filled with fan events and celebrations of the cold-weather sports rich California roots, Anaheim showed whos currently in charge of this rivalry. The Ducks followed up their 2-1 victory in Thursdays rivalry meeting in Anaheim by opening a seven-point lead over Chicago atop the overall standings. Jonathan Quick made 18 saves as the Kings matched their longest skid of an otherwise solid season. After getting a goal in the opening minutes of Thursdays loss, Los Angeles hasnt scored in 116 consecutive minutes against the Ducks. "As for us not scoring goals, its been a constant theme, and its getting embarrassing," Los Angeles defenceman Drew Doughty said. "So we need to pick up our socks, and everyone needs to get hungry around the net and score goals." Hiller made 20 saves and stopped Anze Kopitars penalty shot in the first period, and the Swiss netminder turned away every good scoring chance after that in his fourth shutout and 24th victory of the season. Just 2:45 in, Perry scored the first goal in Dodger Stadium history, connecting rather easily on a rebound of Ryan Getzlafs shot off a faceoff. Less than six minutes later, Beleskey was alone at the side of Quicks net to score on a play set up by Selannes pass. Kopitar was awarded a penalty shot midway through the period when Lovejoy hooked him on a breakaway, but the Kings leading scorer couldnt do much with the puck, and Hiller stopped it. "The experience was fun and it was exciting, playing on a stage like this in front of all those people, but it was definitely not the outcome we wanted," Kopitar said. Cogliano had the best scoring chance of the second period, but lost the puck on a breakaway. Hiller was outstanding after struggling in his last start against Winnipeg, and Cogliano wrapped up the win in the closing seconds with his 17th goal. NOTES: The crowd was announced at 54,099 -- a number that likely made Gretzky smile. ... Despite significant public interest, the game didnt sell out until early Saturday. The NHL overpriced many tickets when they first went on sale, forcing price reductions and refunds in the sections that werent selling. ... Perry joined Cristiano Ronaldo as the first players to score a goal in their respective sports at Dodger Stadium.
