Is it me or do the Russian players seem to make out best durign these things. I see Kovy tearin it up in the KHL and Ovechkin went off and got engaged to some Hot Russian tenis player (is there a factory somewhere in Moscow producing them that we haven't been told about).

(Corrected because I was too lazy to check google for a Russian city)

i buy in to the owners sticking to their guns until the last possible day before the cancellation, less games for more revenue makes sense at this point. i think there is a season though.

Remember that there is no such thing as 'free' revenue - a cut of that 'more revenue' goes back to the players.

I think the drop dead date is fake anyway, so I could see them taking it past the brink.

FYI, Kiev is not a Russian city

I knew I shouldn't have jumped the gun and threw up the first Russian sounding city that came to mind...Still I just got back from visiting Eastern Europe (Poland) and well I'm certainly a fan of the women =-)

I think they sell them on amazon for good prices, though shipping, as you can imagine, will do some damage.

Make sure they punch holes in the box. I was very unhappy with my shipment.

Spending the day in NYC and ran into all the reporters and media and talked to a few a about the lockout. They're encouraged. Will post a picture later

I've been to Kiev, and it was a fantastic land of mini skirts.

Well they're back together.. Is it too much to hope for a resolution tonight?

I think it's possible but not likely. Depends on whether or not the threat of disclaimer of interest is enough for NHL to move off some of their positions - if it is, we could see a deal, though I doubt it would be for several hours.

"Hearing both sides disappointed with lack of true movement in each other's new positions today... Key is to keep talking though.."

Was killing time and went to Barnes and Noble for the first time in years for some coffee and grabbed a hockey news magazine. Damn, that made me miss the games so much. I hope they can get something done already.

[Devils Dose]

Well, it's midnight.

Was interest disclaimed?

They probably won't rush to tell the media so I wouldn't wait up for an announcement or keep on twitter if you have to get to bed.

[NJDevs4978]

They wouldn't still be meeting if they had DOI'ed the season away. It was always a player-hyped artificial deadline anyway.

[devilsfan26]

According to TG, the meeting is over. Fehr said they moved closer on some issues but still have a ways to go on others. They have had a mediator with them all day, and he has requested both sides to be back at 10AM. Dreger says the players did not file the disclaimer of interest, but will if a deal isn't reached soon.

[Devilsfan118]

Well I'd say, overall, today is a positive. Made some progress, at least
