Burke acts like he knows it all. He's not involved in the negotiations, and he's not a person that is being informed of the status of the talks. It looks like they're keeping everything tight lipped. From what I've heard, talks are going very well, and we're seeing indications that this is over. Administrative business (GM hiring, firing, coach hiring, firing, players saying that the deal is done, and many more) There's too much smoke and silence for this not to be over. Usually when there is extreme silence, something comes out of it. I think no little interviews after each meeting is good. They're just meeting until a deal is complete. I think a deal is done. Lawyers are just looking it over. Leave it to them to drag it out. I still stick to July 1st or early next week. I think they're really looking for the July 1st date so that there's not too much trouble with contract negotiations. Take everything you hear in the media with a grain of salt. I think the media is just a pawn for anyone would wants to put out negative energy (agents, GMs who don't like what the new CBA is going to bring). Parking is a joke, if that is what is being talked about right now. I think that means that little details are all that is left.
Has Burke been right anytime during this lockout? Bob Mckenzie hasn't said that anything is going wrong. And I like his accuracy during this whole thing, he doesn't favor one side.
Hockey is coming......I can feel it.
