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.
Let's hope this guy is right.
Again.

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

For the first time. Bill Daly and Steve Fehr are talking to the media together
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!

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.

Don't mistake opinion for fact.
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.
