Her bodyguard took his camera, sorry boss...

That ain't right.

Anyone got high hopes for this weekend?

[Chancellor Vitale]

I hope they make progress but I don't know that I'd predict they make progress. I suspect we'll get this:

After today: "we made some progress on non-economic issues and agreed on a couple steps we will take to improve the game."

After tomorrow: "we're still far apart on economic issues but made small amounts of progress and hope for more tomorrow."

After Sunday: "we're not there yet and don't have any further meetings scheduled at this time."

Ya, I'm hoping I can find my way out of the corn maze I'm taking my daughter to on Saturday.

I still cling to the hope that we have intelligent minds at work here. I still believe they know missing even one regular season game can be a huge black eye on a league that has lost over 1500 games to labor strife in the last twenty years.

All of this nonsense in the media has to simply be posturing... They really can't be this stupid.

That's my take, because I'm giving both sides the benefit of common sense (which will abruptly change if they start canceling real games).

Haha. That is pretty funny. Goat meat FTW. (You should tried curried goat meat if you ever find a good Indian place, it's not bad actually).

If it's run by Schrute Farms you better have your survival kit and carry permit on hand.

According to this

it sounds like they're not even considering economic issues this weekend, which would be ****ed. I thought TODAY was about non-core issues and the weekend was back to the hard stuff. Maybe not.

[Til the End of Time]

i have a stupid busy schedule for the rest of 2012, so i honestly would probably be happy if the lockout lasted that long since i wouldnt get to watch many/any games.

however i think this thing will end rather soon, to be honest. no real rationale, just gut feeling.

Well, Rick Nash did get his shoulder injured today that may speed things up one way or another...

Truthfully though, no.


Michael Grange tweeted this:

Steve Fehr -- we don't expect to talk about the core issues #NHL #NHLPA


As Nick Cotsonika notes:
If Steve Fehr says the players don't expect to talk about the core issues, don't expect anything significant this weekend.
