417 TO MTL said:I wouldn't call it optimism, more like realism (is that even a word? )
417 TO MTL said:Backing off your 'no season" stance are you?
Go Flames Go said:I guess its rumoured that the meeting is really taking place at the Suttoun Hotel, and that all the media has been kicked out.

Go Flames Go said:There is an ass of a bridge to gap. Unless the NHL works the cell phone frantically, and "goflamesgo" /Daly/Batterman are on a 4 way conference call with Bettman every 1 hour there will be no stunning news coming out of today.
Either it will be we had good dialouge but we still realize we are worlds apart, or we came to agreement that Go Flames Go is a woman and fool
Go Flames Go said:You guys are reading way to much into this. If its gonna get done(which I am 99.9% confident it wont), they will announce it. If no deal comes out then they will say they are world apart and we focus on the NBA lockout which is ahead.
Go Flames Go said:Yeah I must be wrong then, because they are keeping media away, and are keeping things on a hush.

Didn't Chelios say that there are guys that would be willing to play into the summer to get some form of credible season? Figure when they do have a "real" season it's gotta be at least ten games shorter than what it is now. Granted it wouldn't be that long of an off season but they might be able to start the following year a little later. I'm thinking that they really ARE prepared to go into July if need be for a Cup final. Don't be so sold on the Stanley Cup being awarded in mid-late June.
417 TO MTL said:I could list about 10 reasons why your wrong, if I could just ask you 1 question though...
If your so sure that the season is lost, and will be so for at least the next 2 years, why are they meeting?trying to decide on a date to meet 2 years from now?
