This is really one big huge joke. I wish that the media and some of the more fringe actors in this dispute would just show some fan sympathy and let us greive and vent, instead of the constant string of false hopes the keep throwing us. Honestly, anyone who believes that there is a chance for hockey at this point is delusional, probally as a result of listening to this constant barrage of BS from the PA, the media and the leauge. Stop hoping and join the real world folks, it will only make things easier when I am eventually proven right.
