@NHLPodium: Lockout or knockout, either way, Manny learned some respect. #IlostvCashonthatfight

I expect #NHLPA to accept 10 yr #CBA if #NHL gives a little on some contract rights #compromise #negotiate
I don't know what to expect (except plenty of tweets from bored reporters over the next 7 to 10 days).
Wow, they're meeting again. I'm so shocked. It's almost like all that "Best possible offer", "Hill we die on", "Everything is off the table", etc... rhetoric was just a PR stunt by Bettman and his cronies.
They can negotiate other things than contract and CBA terms.
Players: "We want spicy mustard at the concession stands from now on."
Owners: "Screw that: You'll use plain mustard & like it."
Players: "Fuck You! - We're outta here!"
Owners: "Whatever. Don't call us back to the table until you are ready to conceed on this issue."

They are meeting today and maube it is wishfull thinking on my part but I believe that a deal will be done today.
Players turn to stomp out in a huff?
I don't know where all this optimism is coming from...

The consensus among NHL management types/agents here this morning is that there will definitely be a resolution to the lockout, and soon.
