I'll say the next shoe to drop will be games thru the 15th of January and that to anyone who gets it the end- Doomsday
which means they really need to be playing by the 16th so a deal would have to be consummated by Jan 5th
really, they suck if it gets to that point and I am rooting for no season (I'm sure I'll be waving the pom poms if they come back but right now they ****ing suck)
so Jan 16th games have to be underway
deal would have to be made by Jan 5th
but if they get to New Years- just stay in Siberia, Prague, Switzerland, and Germany
what do you think |
Agree with this. So if Jan 1 is the effective deadline with the official announcement coming within a week following that we are pretty close to the edge.
The recent developments nearly guarantee there is no constructive discussions before Christmas. Obviously the freakin players are concentrating on their vote
. That leaves what, 2-3 business days after Christmas before NYE to negotiate/
Since they were so close I still give us a 50-50 shot at getting a deal done around New Years. Last week I thought it was about 90% chance we had hockey though.
I want replacements if the players don't do a deal. 40 games, half price to ST holders, full playoffs. Lets do it I'll drink in Garden bars and sit in my loges this spring. Will also take time create a troll twitter account and harass locked out NHLers about how they are going to be living under a bridge soon
