What the hell, even Phaneuf makes fun of Kessel for being fat? lol

This about sums up that no one in the media knows sweet fuck all right now:

Eric Macramalla ‏@EricOnSportsLaw

My source: deal is not as close as reported today; several outstanding issues including pensions; still work to be done - gap remains

When did Eric Macramalla get sources?

 

[KingHenrik30]

Fuck the lockout. Go see Zero Dark Thirty. Fucking amazing film.

 

[Freyjadour]

God damn, they're still meeting?

 

[CCF23]

God damn, they're still meeting?

As someone who has no idea how collective bargaining works, it's hard to imagine how they can talk for this long. What do they say?

 

[Leeroy3101]

Basically a big session saying "Well, we want this but you want that. Now how can we fudge the numbers to meet in the middle" and it's repeated ad nauseum

 

[Cake Boss]

My choptole chips r soooob gsooof

 

[Stasis]

Such personality.

Seriously. Both of them for different reasons. Ugh.

I don't expect NHL players to be super charismatic or anything, but that video was just really awkward. They're so easy to dislike lol.

Been wondering that too. Do they just sit there repeating the same shit over and over, using different words? I mean at some point you have to have covered every possible scenario...

 

[BigJonsson]

Round and round we go

They're really playing D&D.

@DougMaclean
Kyper has spent more time in NY with the lockout than he did with the Rangers.

This. You go down the same roads many times over.

Daren Millard ‏@darenmillard

Good news for those waiting for the bargaining session to end. The@nhl will be speaking when the talks end for the night/morning.

.

Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris

Just bumped into mediator Scot L. Beckenbaugh in the hotel lobby. He said it's "still early" and I'm not sure he was kidding.

 

[BigJonsson]

They do know that there isn't a Jr game on at 4am right?

 

[Cake Boss]

Whooooa we live on a prayer... hold on to what we goats

 

[Marvie_3]

I hope some of the reporters get to bed in case these talks continue all night into the morning lol, don't want them to all pass out from exhaustion when a deal is being announced

 

[Freyjadour]

Press is bored:

Daren Millard ‏@darenmillard

Playing stick ball on 6th ave. Just hit a long ball and a cop stopped. Turned on his siren and said through the speaker, home run! Classic

Amazing.

The media could potentially be more entertaining than the negotiations they're covering.

Dreger just said they've been told it could last at least another couple hours.

Feels like they're trying to get this finished tonight?

 

[BigJonsson]

I want to stay up until they are done but I don't know if I can stay awake much longer, if only there was an app to make my phone go off when something happens

 

[Freyjadour]

@FriedgeHNIC
Just for fun: NBA lockout ended at 3:40 am.

The only thing we'd be missing is a Disclaimer.

Are they still live on Sportscentre?

 

[CCF23]

Are they still live on Sportscentre?

Yep. Every hour they're live.

 

[Quick]

Yep. Every hour they're live.

As far as I know, they only film two hours of Sportscentre for the night, but I guess they could still do a live feed of NY.

@Eklund

Hearing some good things....

IT'S HAPPENING.

Alyonka Larionov and Dreger are exchanging late night tweets. Not as sexy as you think:

@AlyonkaLarionov @aaronward_nhl @TSNRyanRishaug. Changed...as in clothes? Nope. Burning my suit and all undergarments after this fiasco.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Via email, update from NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly: "Making progress."

1m Darren Dreger Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger

Latest intel from Manhattan-Marathon-Madness...the two sides intend on pushing until no more can be accomplished tonight\this morning.

I would hope that "until no more can be accomplished" means a deal.

 

[JABEE]

I would hope that "until no more can be accomplished" means a deal.

I think they mean until everyone passes out from exhaustion.

 

[Freyjadour]

Fuck it. Goodnight. May there be Hope tomorrow.

 

[CCF23]

[Smiley90]

Isn't Crosby at least passing out yet? Or did he get naptime?
