		<description><![CDATA[Id4joey - The irony is that the Army of Northern Virginia would have absolutely no place for a &quot;cowardly and useless&quot; goof like this General Lee idiot (aka Mississippimudslinger).  In fact, I&#039;d venture to say that this pathetic troll isn&#039;t even from the South, such is his lame and gutless banter.  I&#039;ll bet you anything that my old friend Stransky would identify this loser as living in either northern Idaho or western Montana ?  :)   Anyway, things are now happening man and I can just &quot;hear&quot; an agreement being announced within the next 48 hours !

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It was planned in advance to coincide with the end of tomorrow’s Board of Governors meeting&quot; ... 

THIS IS IT !

Joey and other assorted friends.  I&#039;m convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that &quot;joy&quot; now awaits us with Bettman&#039;s planned conference tomorrow !  Yes, there will be an agreement announced and we will have a season this year !  I knew in my heart from the very start that this just had to be a &quot;contrived&quot; impasse.  And I&#039;ve been convinced all along that just as sure as rats are inclined to leave a sinking ship, so too are those with wealth inclined to behave in a predictable &quot;self-serving&quot; fashion such as this.  So regardless of the upset which has now been had due to this idiocy, I for one say ... &quot;on with the show !&quot; ...  :)

Will the players finally see the f***ing light. Now, if there isn&#039;t a deal by Friday, we may see another week cancelled, which will be a very positive sign.

		<description><![CDATA[This might be the time to be a touch optimistic. The sides are fairly close overall, with only a couple major sticking points and a fairly small amount of money between them. Its not going to take much movement from either side to get a deal done, so if theres any progress at all it could well lead to a deal. 

Thats not to say a deal WILL happen, but things seem to be going pretty good. I don&#039;t think the two sides would have met again at 10PM if there wasn&#039;t something at least a little positive happening.]]></description>
