    Not mentioned is that the deal is simply Jeremy Jacobs walking into the room today and saying "you want your hockey, accept our proposal as-is" and then twisting his villain mustache and cackling maniacally.

    I know you're only half-serious, but if all this guy's insider info is about the Bruins (Kessel and Thomas), it wouldn't be a shocker if he's the first to know about a deal considering the influence Jacobs has over the decision.

    That said, I am growing increasingly indifferent towards the NHL and have moved on to awaiting the start of the baseball season. I really don't care if they even salvage part of a season at this point.

    Things seem to be progressing nicely right now, but this dog and pony show is into reruns already.

    Ha! I remember that thread. Are you referencing Burton here? From what I've read, he doesn't break a LOT of stories, but when he does, he's bang on.

    I love the video of him -- it's like seeing the local news guy dropping a major story. I hope he's right on. ESPN, TSN, Yahoo -- screw all of 'em. I've got WBZ Boston!

    No, not referencing Burton, though if this all falls through maybe I should!

    the board of governors meeting today should be interesting. I know we don't know what will be going on, but could you imagine if they fired Bettman today. I know it would never happen during negotiations necessarily, but I would laugh for days. just thinking about it makes me giggle.

    Positive news the past too days. It is hard to temper expectations.

    Firing Bettman ? Not going to happen at this point in a set of negotiations, so don't get your hopes too high.

    Friedman has chimed in with a CBC article now too.
