At least they’re talking again

Anyway, if you’ve read me or listened to me on the radio throughout this process, you know I’ve been very pessimistic about a deal getting done. I would say I’ve switched to cautiously optimistic now. I have been given hope that the two least turbulent leaders in this negotiation are sitting down talking about things that actually matter, and without storming off in a huff and a puff.

This is a math equation now. Solve the math equation, save some face, catapult this league back onto the national landscape and make sure that a large portion of the 2012-13 season is played.

-Michael Russo updates after last night’s lengthy meeting between Bill Daly and Steve Fehr. A meeting involving more representation from both sides is expected to take place early in the week.

    Connor Brown has the only Erie goal this afternoon. I guess I should make more of an effort to catch Erie games

    I haven’t yet but I will be when Erie is in Barrie to play the Colts. Seems like he has come out of nowhere posting those numbers!

    Quite a few special kids this year
    Red Line Report ‏@daredlinereportBy the way, that last tweet is no knock on MacKinnon — Jonathan Drouin is just that good! Electrifying.

    maybe teams shyed away due to his brutal +/- last year. otherwise he seems solid, and +/- looks vastly improved so far this year. could be a steal, move over Red Wings scouts!

    Erie was just the worst team ever last year so they didn’t attract a lot of attention.  It also set back McKegg a bit being saddled there.  Looks like they’re about to have a bit of a resurgence.
