David Puddy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I tried Primanti Brothers for the first time last week, those sandwiches are the sh!t. They're the best when you're drunk or hungover, awful any other time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion15 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 well at least they're trying to get the league's blessing (sort of) before the signing and spectacle. don't want to go thru that crap again. GET IT DONE this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I don't think this thread would have lasted 480 pages if we weren't optimistic! We're Devils fans. Optimism isn't a word in our vocabulary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 It feels like when the band goes on stage ... the house lights are still dark.. you hear a strum or too on the guitar so you know the players are in position. .. since i'm only on page 479 or 480 of catching up since i left/returned from work, i apologize, if anyone gave props already but: i love this analogy that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyElias26 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Would it be normal for the NHL to have made a decision on the contract within 24 hours. At the rate everything is going, you'd think It'd take a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 There was no contract submitted. Daly was quoted saying that he and the Devils were just talking conceptually reagrading contract structure. Who even knows if we are any further along than we were on July 1st? What I would like to know then is WTF were the Devils up to the past 2 weeks then? Why did they not arrange a meeting with Daly or the NHL right after the arbitrator denied the last contract????? Is it your guys' opinion that there is a deal in place already and Devils just wanted to get a feel if that deal would work? Or do you think that they now have a guidline to follow and now have to come up with something that works wiht the NHL , then see if Grossman and Kovy will accept that offer , more or less starting from scratch???

ZeroGravityFat Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 grossman was with them which implies that he was happy with the number submitted. they will wait for nhl's answer, if they say ok, they will submit it. if nhl already ok'd it they will push it through today.

Deal is certainly in place already, otherwise Grossman wouldn't be there. They are simply looking for the league's OK before submitting it. Also there is a possibility that there is some issue within the deal (bonuses, lockout protection, etc) that they might have needed advice from the league about.

gogonjdevil Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 wouldn't it have been smart to do this whole "ask the league" thing the first time? <sigh> I have this worried feeling in the pit of my stomach that this will never end. Bettmann sold his soul to Cindy and in exchange, Cindy has put us in this never ending black hole. When it finally does end...we'll wake up the next day and it will be July 19th again and only Devils' fans will remember anything happening. This is a conspiracy to rid the world of Devils' fans by driving us insane!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice dog Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 iwonder if lou, jvb, and gross had to kneel before bettman and kiss his ring... what an odd situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
