Wait, that doesn't really make sense. Does that mean this "Eklund" fellow is behind SabresInsider.com?

Even if he is, I don't know how that coorelates with Tim Taylor on a Tampa news station, unless they generated the whole thing.

I am not defending Eklund or whoever said this in his chat room, but that is a pretty freakin' random thing to make up.

To clarify...

The "Internet Report" in the newsday article is indeed Eklund.

The Sabresinsider rumour does not come from Eklund. It was posted by someone who was in Eklund's chat room when a bunch of Tampa fans came in saying they saw Taylor on the news saying a deal was reached.

Ok, thanks. That makes sense.

Nothing's on the Tampa News website, but sometimes those things aren't updated with what was on the news that night.

Add: I'm not trying to suggest anyone made anything up.. I just hope we get another source on this.

COME ON MAN!!!!!

can't you say you watched the news and he said it?

i went to the website of station mentioned and there is nothing but who knows.

Hey I'm checking message boards of people who might have watched the news tonight so its not like I'm not trying to find out.

I believe it goes:

"until a deal is signed, BS."

:help:

Have you read his blog for the past three months? It's all random. And poorly spelled. And contradictory.

Well Waffledave said it was not Eklund but 3-4 people who came on at nearly the same time and said it was on the news.

Yeah. In fact, Eklund claims that this isn't true and that a deal has not yet been reached.

This better be ****ing true.

...which means 'Game On,' boys...

Why would those people lie about something on the news? I don't want to get overly optimistic just yet (of course, listening to Brian Burke is just like drinking flat soda right now........blech), but I can't imagine people reporting something like this, just for giggles.

If EKLUND isnt buying it then it must be true!!! :yo:

canucksfan · Feb 4, 2005

I don't want to get my hopes up so I won't believe it. If i see it on TSN or another credible source then I will.

Well, bread crumbs make great meatballs. I really could use some good news right now. :cry:

Jason MacIsaac · Feb 4, 2005

I am flipping out right now. I dunno if I can go to bed now...I even have morning classes.

yes he is

Bruwinz37 · Feb 4, 2005

Well I have had enough for the night.

Lets keep the faith for tomorrow boys.

WickedBruinsGirl · Feb 4, 2005

This was just said in the chat by someone who emailed the station. Take it for whatever it's worth:

With the midnight oil apparently burning brightly, Lightning player representative Tim Taylor believes it could lead to a deal being reached, similar to thesituation during the lockout ten years ago which ended after nearly 24 hours of negotiations. ""I went out and did a school visit and I just had a feeling that today was going to be a go, that we were going to get back on the ice,'' Taylor said. "I find it puzzling that they would be meeting all night and not come out with something. I think this is it, that they will come out with a deal.''

Fish · Feb 4, 2005

Apparently what Taylor said is something to the effect of today he "felt a deal would get done"

I have a test in a little over 8 hours. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep either.
