    Default Steve Burton. Breaking another big story or about to look foolish?

    Tons of retweets and talk on twitter about Steve Burton breaking the story of the NHL and a deal to save the season.


    https://twitter.com/wbzsports/status/275745204777152512

    "WBZ's Steve Burton reports #nhl talks have made great progress behind closed doors and it looks like the season will be salvaged - @JoeGiza"

    https://twitter.com/wbzsports/status/275745206077378560

    "WBZ's Steve Burton reports that a deal to save the #nhl season could be announcement tomorrow or Wednesday - @JoeGiza"

    I am not familiar who Steve Burton is, but apparently he is the same reporter who broke the story of Phil Kessel's cancer a few years ago. He has some sort of insider within the Bruins organization.

    To say hes the top trender on twitter right now would be a slight understatement.

    I can only hope his sources are correct again this time, if not he is about to have some serious egg on his face.

    Just to make things more interesting, apparently he also broke the story of Phil Kessel's testicular cancer and Tim Thomas taking a year off.
    Some reporters who have done some calling around have been told that this guy is "never wrong". He's putting his reputation on the line, that's for sure. Makes things interesting!

    This guy's got balls to put his rep on this...if he broke the last two big stories what says this isn't the third. I hope he's right!

    And of course Daly is going to deny this...it wouldn't be his news to break then...hmmm.

    I've said from the beginning I believe the lockout will wipe out the entire season....

    This has at the very least given me some hope...I'll tell you if I can get my Lightning back, I literally won't ask for anything else for Xmas!! LMAO

    There would be an absolute tremendous amount of activity in both the real hockey world and fantasy, a lot would happen in such a little amount of time.

    If there's going to be a deal to save the season, it'll need to come soon. I don't think he's 100% playing a hunch but I don't think he's 100% right either. I'm betting a source fed him an ounce and told him it was 10 pounds.

    One more interesting thing...why didn't Daly deny a meeting of the minds...was there a meeting? Was there a resolution? Just saying...

    My sentiments exactly.

    I know this won't happen, but I would prefer not to hear another word of the lockout until a) a deal has been reached, or b) the season is cancelled.

    Meh, i'm pretty much in the same boat. There have been a few letdowns so far during the lockout, I have no interest in another.

    I'll get excited when the announcement is made.
