No hope. (frank) it. I'm not being brought up again. If a deal is 99% done, they will (frank) it up. They will find away.

This.

The owners could give up on all 3 of their requirements, and Fehr would still not take the deal to the players.

This is going nowhere.

Are you sure your source wasn't just really high?

Jerry??

This has about as much a chance of happening as me buying a season ticket.

Really? You feel bad for these guys missing out on a paycheck? Every guy in this league could miss out on a whole season of paychecks and be just fine financially. And if they're not, it's their own fault. It's pretty tough to feel sympathy for a guy missing a pay day when he makes more in a year than I'll make in my life.

hahahaha maybe hope for 2013.. this is such a circus

I doubt the two sides have said a word to each other the past few days. I don't believe this at all.

Snet just reported email only.

I was watching the marlies game, and the guys on sportsnet said they talked in email today. For what it's worth.

'Nuff said

didnt you say that the lockout would be over in oct...then nov....then dec....now jan....jeez if you just keep throwing months out there you are bound to be right...eventually.

This. It's also funny how his optimism meter never seems to change despite the gong show that has been this years lockout.

You're funny EK

I know people are seeing this as some kind of new optimism...but i have always felt there will be a season...

New optimism? You've always felt there will be a season because you have blind, unfounded and completely homer-like optimism Ek, even when things were at there bleakest. So accuse you of some kind of new optimism would be silly.

Yes, I'm sure there is.



And the BS continues.

What happened in the last hour

The Marlies scored 2 goals?

I enjoy these rumours of the players in-fighting. If players are saying they don't like Fehr, then why aren't names attatched to these comments? I'd like to think NHLers aren't as spineless as that. Or it could just be these rumours are made up.

Eklund: Hope?

Please just cancel the season.
