OKAY WE HAVE CLARIFICATION

This comes from someone in the chat who e-mailed who I beleive is a news guy or something of that nature, for clarification of the news report. The Tampa fans either completely misunderstood or totally jumped the gun. This is what the e-mail reportedly says...

<spartyinmd> With the midnight oil apparently burning brightly, Lightning playerrepresentative 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 thattoday was going to be a go, that we were going to get back on the ice,'' Taylor
said. ""I findit puzzling that they would be meeting all night and not come out with something. I think thisis it, that they will come out with a deal.''

False alarm guys...

Thanks, bruins4419. So, Burke is right, nothing to report yet. :cry:

hey, no news is better than bad news.

remember, last week's meetings with the small groups had bad rumours emerging immediately afterwords. there've been NO negative rumours whatsoever up to this point, and i think that says something.

then again, maybe it doesn't, who knows.

**** this ****.

waffledave · Feb 4, 2005

It's not as good as we thought, but at least the players are optimistic. A union rep on top of that!

Hahaha oh man, some guy is calling Taylor's house now. This is getting out of hand.

Waffle Dave stealing my stuff

It was me who emailed the sports director for WFLA NBC 8 in Tampa. I have the full email which is actually the contribution to an article in tomorrows Tampa Tribune if you need me to post it...the biggest thing is what Waffle and Bruins posted though

waffledave · Feb 4, 2005

Sorry man, I got nothing to do here... :p:

spartyinmd · Feb 4, 2005

Just joking with you man

According to the Tampa guys they put the entire webcast of the news on at about 1AM ET. I am reloading constantly to see if there was more to it.

I won't ask for a source, but I will ask, how accurate is it?

I agree. I think they broke off meetings so the lawyers can look over all the big stuff and make sure it is kosure... them tomorrow they do the other little stuff.

no asking for the source, but if you know that much, do you know who "caved" and what the rough details might be?

No need to get too specific, any details would be appreciated ...

Well if you dont believe his source.. then believe my gut feeling!! I believe there will be a deal done by tommorow and whenever I have a gut feeling I'm almost always right.. you wouldnt wanna hear what many of my gut feelings have come true... but if this one does then it'll be the best of all... god I hope im right :cry:

StickShift · Feb 4, 2005

I can't take anything seriously from someone with the name 'Spacelobster'. The deal sounds like something that you hallucinated.

I mean, really, 'Spacelobster'.... 'Sealobster' maybe, but definitely not 'Spacelobster'.

Jason MacIsaac · Feb 4, 2005

I still don't know how this hsan't leaked out yet....I wish I knew an NHL player to ask.

SL is actually a respected poster on this site and would not make up something like this.

What about sportsnet or tsn sites? Have they confirmed anything or at least have something about it?
