IM FULL ON HOPE
Well tabris was born that way, so it's okay.
I agree. I'm not talking about what has happened. We're in this situation now, though, and it doesn't make much difference when it gets done if we're talking a matter of a weekend. If it has to be slow to make sure nothing blows up, let it be slow and drift into Sunday. Just get it done in the end.
:lol @ Boomer Esiason tweeting about hockey.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Yes! Once the former NFL QBs start spreadin the news, you know it's true.

NHL-NHLPA talks still ongoing. Slow progress. Breaks now and then for caucusing. Disregard people who say deal has been reached already.
One thing that might surprise you... He's a hockey analyst. Works for CBS

I like the people saying a deal has been reached as if once they reach a deal they'll continue to sit in a negotiating room and not, you know, hold a press conference.

They have to negotiate who will speak first and the brand of water at the podium.

NHL deputy commish Bill Daly email to Post-Dispatch seconds ago: "It’s been a long day already and meetings are continuing.... (1/2)
Daly contd "Dialogue has been good & there has been a healthy give & take. We resolved some open issues but still have a number to go” (2/2)

We expect an update soon on NHL CBA talks.

They also had to decide if the water sponsor would be considered HRR.
Ok let's give the nope some hope

Starting to hear strong word that #NHL could cancel season in next 24 to 48 hours. Gary Bettman thinks too many issues to put together deal
Of course not, he works for fox
Season saved for sure.

I was only wanting to crush team nopes hopes and dreams
Hockey would be back. My Canucks would be on the ice. And I wouldn't have wasted any energy getting my hopes up and dashed each time there were developments. I think you've lost perspective.
Typical of a Hoper.
What's "hockey"? This is about labour relations!

Fighting robots!
I don't see a problem with fighting robots unless it has something to do with michael bay.
So ignore them?
Someone knows his target audience.
Basically what I'm doing. I'm laughing at them more than anything. Until there's an official press conference, all of this "reporting" is just farce.

A shortened season will be so weird. A hot streak and you're basically in.
Not to mention the illegitimate Stanley Cup.
There's a Sharks joke in this comment somewhere.
I'm fine with Teemu lifting a shorten season cup
If we were to win a Cup after a shortened season I'd feel conflicted.
For about two seconds.
yeah, pretty much.
I'd only feel bad if a team that normally wouldn't make the playoffs won (say, the Leafs), because then you could make the "they wouldn't have made the playoffs if the season was 82 games long) argument. Playoffs are playoffs, although "they would've suffered from lack of depth in the playoffs after a long season" is still an argument, but I'd be willing to ignore that.

Asterisk needed if any team besides Detroit wins it.
Aaron Ward:
"People will have a hard time understanding why pension is a sticking point for a bunch of millionaires, but it's not about the millionaires, it's about the guys making the minimum..."
So unless you're one and done (in which case you're not really an NHLer anyway), you're a millionaire.
GENIUS!

Uh are you considered a millionaire when you get a part of that minimum salary taxed bringing you under a million? Or do they also consider the property you own?
Yeah, the guys that are still making over 10 times what the average person earns....
Yeah, it's ridiculous. Fine, pension is important to you, just stop trying to sell people that the importance of any NHLers pension compares in any way to the average person.

What does Kessel do with his 5.5 mil?
Kessel seems more of a hot dog and sausage guy to me. Meat.
