2012 NHL Offseason Thread: ROCK OUT WITH YOUR LOCKOUT

[Selamis]

I've got the trucking air horn, and Chelsea Dagger on standby.

All signs point to positive traction and ground gained during these meetings. Considering how close they already were.. I'm optimistic.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF MY BODY IS READY

[Palin]

This is what the lockout has made of us.

[Sepukku]

My work's new break room that they're trying to make google hip just got Bubble Hockey yesterday, now this... good signs!!!!

[Wulfgang]

Wulfgroundhogadamus predicts six more weeks of lockout!

Kidding aside, came back from working out and the buzz on Twitter sounded promising. Michael Grange's article from earlier today really puts things in perspective for players; take the deal because there's a good chance it doesn't improve much and a very real chance things could get much worse:

Did anyone ever figure out what that little face is that appears above Sepukku's posts is? I feel like I asked like six months ago and then missed the response.

I still think The Blackhawks need to use Wesley Willis instead.

Per LeBrun "Burkle has made his presence felt today."

I'm really not shocked by this.

It's a post icon. Go into advanced mode posting and there's a whole bunch of them at the bottom.

As awesome as Wesley Willis was, somehow I'd be majorly against that as funny as it would be lol. It'd be so out of place though.

[Wulfgang]

Man god damn it, I am getting my hopes up again. It would really be awesome if they just stayed up all night, eventually brought Fehr and Bettman in, and announced a deal in principle at like 4 AM. Like I would wear my Preds jersey to work even though that would be like 100% not kosher.

[Brill Weave]

Both sides will continue meeting tonight according to Dreger.

[Wulfgang]

Fehr and Bettman joining this session according to HFBoards and Twitter. I take that as a good sign, possibly very good sign. While they suck, you know a deal would never get done without those two at the table as their current contingents do not have the latitude to actually agree to anything. Hopefully they ride the high emotions, PA gives on economics, NHL gives on contracting rights, and we get there.

DOOO ITTT! Fuck just do it. I would forget like 70% of my hate for all parties involved if they pulled out a magic trick tonight.

[Selamis]

Agreed

PROGNOSTICATION GO

[Brill Weave]

10 minutes before Bettman says not even in the same universe lol.

[Wulfgang]

If you have Twitter, toss a #WEWANTHOCKEY on it; movement to get that trending right now on a few forums.

[Cail]

im still in the fuck all of them mentality

[Izzy]

Sooooo, I heard Bettman has a press conference scheduled for 1:00PM tomorrow. Truth?
