"Hi Brendan, this is Bill Thompson, sports director here at 1270 WXYT in Detroit."
"Hi Bill."
"Brendan the reason I am calling is because we'd like to get you on the air this morning to get your reaction to the cancellation of the season."
"Actually Bill this is not a good time for me, my wife is insisting on waffles this morning and I'm trying to convice her that bacon is more in order. If I do an interview right now there's no chance in hell I'll get my bacon. Giving an interview will jeopordize the negotiation going on here."
"WOW! I didn't really listen to anything but the last sentance here but say no more! We'll talk soon. Godspeed Brendan."

nomorekids said:People dispelling this rumor simply because the season was cancelled are being a little short-sighted.
While it's true that it's probably too late to save THIS season, I think a lot of the players heard some alarm bells yesterday. If enough guys come to their senses, they'll realize that their chances are a lot better NOW of getting a deal that's at least somewhat beneficial to them..than if they wait until August. Right now, they realize enough owners want some certainty as to next season...and that could play to the players advantage in taking a deal. Come August-September, there's likely to be a far less lenient attitude. I don't know if I believe this rumor, but I hope for the players' sake that it's true.
Eskin is brutal. I listen to him in short spurts and find myself constantly changing stations.Chuck Shick said:He beats the hell outta Howard Eskin !!!! Right CHIEF !!!

vanlady said:It might be around Bettman and Goodenow. On Arthur Griffiths show this morning I caught part of an interview. The person on the phone said that 8-10 owners forced Gary on stage to cancel the season and there are a lot of unhappy owners. Normally I wouldn't post this becuase MOJO doesn't have a audio vault but a poster on Canucks.com heard the same thing. The person being interviewed felt that the next BOG was going to be a blood bath. He also said that many owners won't say anything publically because of the gag order being back in place.
Arthur Griffiths is credible and as an ex owner has freinds none of us has.

Egil said:Van, HOW can 8-10 owners FORCE Bettman to do something at the expense of the other 20-22? And don't give me this "only 8 owners crap". IF 22 owners truly wanted the season to go on at all costs, their would be a season. It ONLY takes 16 governers to fire Gary, and if this "rumour" is to be believed, then the 22 who want to play are sitting on their hands why exactly?
Smail said:If the gag order was back in place, why are all owners/management commenting yesterday and today?
Also, George Mcphee said there were at least 13 teams that voted against the last NHL proposal (for being too generous), I can't see how this could be any positive for the players.
If this is true, Gary Bettman is being too generous and easy going to the players!
vanlady said:They require a BOG meeting to fire Gary and there hasn't been one. Harley or Bettman has to call the meeting. That was what was said.

Egil said:Your telling me that if 22 owners wanted Bettman fired they couldn't do it? Do you truly believe that?
Chuck Shick said:WFAN Goodenow- first question out of the gate Russo just asked him about the invite by Bettman to look at the books...He DODGED IT !! Then the blah blah blah rhetoric..the guys is an idiot.
I hope they have it on their website laterChuck Shick said:Russo is eating him alive !!! Hard questions and Goodenow is backpedalling like you won't believe. This guy Goodenow is coming across as a complete JOKE ...if anyone is listening please confirm what I'm saying...Goodenow is now yelling !!! This is a Cluster**** for Goodenow, he'll never be on WFAN again !!!
vanlady said:They can't without a BOG meeting. Why do you think Gary kept cancelling his BOG meetings??
