that's why i suggest not getting up any type of emotion until its officially a go or officially a no go...but i'm trying to keep my emotions in check as well, i'm excited but don't want to be

Ok I'm done going to bed for work early and hoping this end in 13 hours

If a deal is made, how many games will they likely play?

Doug MacLean suggests if they can get a deal by Friday a 56-game season starting on Dec. 20th. #NHL

Is 56 games enough to provide legitimacy to a season?

Whether it is or not, I'll bet a few bad teams who start out hot will squeeze into the playoffs.

Which is the problem with a short season. While it's gonna make alot of fans happy, when April/May come around and their favorite team doesn't make the playoffs due to a slow start, they'll hate Bettman even more.

No meetings this morning. Owners on way to BOG meetings. Meeting with PA expected to continue later today. Nothing to be read into that. The two sides just didn't want to be rushed with BOG meeting at 11
