So no matter what, this conference is going on -- good or bad --
Lets go NHL
edit: Thought of the moment: Just to keep in mind guys.... we might not hear a single thing out of these meetings until this press conference. Everyone will have this thing as written off dead by the time this goes down... then BAM -- Season Saved. Then we can finally get back to hockey and calling out all the posters who said they'd never watch NHL again.
Jobu said:Umm, what meetings?
Chinook said:The meetings that they'll likely have today/tonight.
Jobu said:Yeah, that'll happen.
Habber said:Glad to hear that the end is near either way. I don't know why they didn't do this two weeks ago, but whatever.
My prediction: Bettman calls a news conference for tomorrow to cancel the season. Talks are held tonight, the owners back off linkage, the players accept a cap, and the news conference tomorrow will annouce that an agreement has been reached in principal.
Chinook said:Well, if either side lets this season go down without a fight, I think they'll lose too many fans for good.
Jobu said:You'd think any rational party would be putting up a fight. But these two guys haven't met since Friday, with a deadline of the weekend. Pathetic.
I don't see how an agreement can be hashed out in a few hours when little to no progress has been made to this point.
Season's over.
Chinook said:You're welcome to have that opinion, but I prefer to remain optimistic.
