Pouring maple syrup into the cereal and then the beer had me almost in tears.

It blew my mind the first time I said "two four" to an American and they looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.

Me and Bender say 'might be a deer do' all the time now. 'Two loonies for a twonie' cracks me up too

I went to an acting school that drilled all the vocal Canadianisms out of me. I now speak Standard American >_>

[Ishido]

So people on Twitter and shit are saying that the CBA might be close to being done. Like close to 24 hours. I call bullshit but weirder things have happened.

edit: right after I post this I realize that when it was posted in another forum it was dumb, everything until Jan 14th has been cancelled and thus this schedule means nothing.

edit again: it seems the games are more often but they don't make sense, divisional/non divisional games are all out of whack.

[Deader2818]

Its the schedule that was made back in august or whatever.

[CrosisX]

Well I'm hearing they are still meeting right now and its 1am in NY. Whoever wanted to lock them in a room and not let them out got their wish tonight.

[Deader2818]

They have been going at it since I think around 1 pm today. I know they were talking separate at 10am.

Feeling like a deal will get done by Monday. If not, we know it will get done by friday.

Though, I found out Kopitar has a knee injury and will be out 3 weeks so fuck it all and cancel the season!

[Ishido]

Yeah that schedule doesn't mean shit, I blame whoever posted it on another forum for leading me on.

Waiting now for the announcement that "they got closer but both sides remain unmoving on several key issues" and a call to take a break from meetings for x amount of time.

Me too honestly i would love to see the PA nuclear option put into play. Then again it would totally destroy anything that is left right now.

[Deader2818]

Both sides have pretty much said that losing the season and not an option. The league has been moving a lot to the players side so im sure the PA is just holding out to get more.

[CrosisX]

I think they are being a bit more cautious and want everything on paper and not on principle. I can't argue with that. Don't want to get burned in the long run.

Eskin: Starting to hear strong word that #NHL could cancel season in next 24 to 48 hours. Gary Bettman thinks too many issues to put together deal

[Deader2818]

I would say thats 100% false since we all know the deadline to get a deal done is Jan 11th.

He also said that 5 hours ago and is part of the Philly media and we all know the Philly sports media is full of crap.

This is the NHL we are speaking of

Still, no reason to cancel the season now when you have till the 11th to get a deal done.

Plus, neither side has spoken to the media today so not sure how this one guy would have any idea what Bettman is thinking. No one else reported this.
