I'mma gonna hold you to that, Lou. You better be right, or I'll have to continue my early spring cleaning all next week. :cry:

Bust out the hard liquor, Lou!

Important quote:


All this optimism was clearly misplaced on Friday. That isn't to say the NHL and NHLPA can't pull a rabbit out of the hat, but it's not nearly the slam dunk so many people are suggesting now that the two sides are going back to the table.

I agree that optimism has maybe got carried away a bit, but they can't afford to turn back now, and they have to know that.

Drinking Bud right now, and alot of it!

I am going to rename you 'un-jaded-fan' Lou . . . keep up that optimism. I actually do see all this as a very good sign no matter what happens and am more convinced than ever that at worst hockey will begin on time next year. There is too much movement to think otherwise, though I do think that it is seeming less and less likely that the hopes from early tonight are not going to play out.

These quotes are still a complete 360 from what we were hearing earlier. "Pulling a rabbit out of a hat" sure as hell doesn't sound very convincing. Still hopeful, but it's been a damned rollercoaster the whole way through.

I'm all out of Newcastles and into the reserve Miller Lite (blech!) Will be bringing out the hard stuff soon, so I might yet be optimistic again tonight.

Somebody has got to keep up the troops spirits here. But you can't blame the doubters here at all, I mean what has this season brought that was optimistic at all? But it's gotta all come to an end sooner or later and this is as good as a time as any.

"Supposed" meetings, which I guess Goodenow and Bettman aren't even attending (stated in latest BobMac, but now removed) but no press conferences.
