You know what is over?

John Shannon also said the pension issue has been settled....so along with the 63 mill cap offer that only leaves the contract / variance to be settled....and they were only a year apart on that......
I'm as much a pessimist as the next guy.....but most agreed there were only three real big issues left....seems close to me....

That's the scary bit: We've been close before...closer, actually...and things completely blew up.

Good blog Richard. They are very close, so we hear. They've been close for how long now. Could still blow up. But I still believe there will be a Season.

Willis: "Cheese tater!!! Cheese PO-TAT-O!!! They come from the ground, man! You eat em, they're good for ya!"

Davis: "Waaaaaaaaaa?"

Willis: "And I now pronounce you, husband and wife"

Davis: "The cheese? These cheese? NOT... THESE... CHEESE... NOOOOOOO!!!"

Go grab a Fresca

I personally think Bettmans bluffing for next week. He's smart enough to know that another lost season could cost him his job, and will cost him MUCH more miney

I've been on the road all day. What's with Eklund's overtly-excited posting?

Touché.

Although "DEAL VERY CLOSE (E5)" can be quite the hook. Not that Ek's gonna divulge his "sources."

Deal may get done unless things fall apart? Ok, got it.

I hear it is good for stripping floors. Perhaps with vodka it will clean out and strip your 'innards'. Be wary though, a little goes a long way.

Perhaps he has his ear to the train tracks. Careful. Might run into trouble, or rather trouble could run into him. I'm sorry, I 'crossed' over the 'tracks' on that one didn't I?

Yawn

Get this done for fukk sakes, im gonna start drinking tonite after work and not stopping till the deal is done. Gotta see the young oilers rip it up this year.

not bagging on ur optimism, but i am far from convinced.

i understand ur point about the short season, but i think the flip side of that would have merit too.
one or two good losing streaks and u wont have enough time to turn it around

Just cancel the (frank)ing season already. I'm so sick of this poop. Millionaires fighting with billionaires and us the fans are the ones that get (frank)ed over. Season ticket holder and I will never purchase tickets again. Of course I'll still watch hockey if/when they get this settled but I won't ever buy tickets again.

You should try a Smirnoff Ice. It will renew your love for the taste of Fresca!
