So they’re meeting tomorrow but with different people this time screw it, here’s some links:

NHL owners and players to meet Tuesday in NY
Larry Tanenbaum will be among those attending tomorrow’s players-owners meeting. Unfortunately, so will Jeremy Jacobs (what an asshole).

Nugent-Hopkins is in for the WJC, if healthy
Even more than usual, this tournament will get way too much attention in Canada, but who can blame us? And Morgan Rielly will be there for Leafs fans to ogle over. Too bad about the getting up early stuff.

The Marlies bounce back with three wins in three nights
Nazem Kadri, Matt Frattin and Jake Gardiner continued their great play this weekend. Still inauspiciously absent is Joe Colborne (who was scratched Sunday).

Abbott makes big impact in Marlies win
Abbott, the signing out of the college ranks late last season, got an opportunity in Colborne’s place and continues to make the most of his opportunities when they come his way. That’s now nine points in six appearances. Also nice to see some praise for Ross (bottom of the article), who has had to be patient through the first two months of the season.

    Kevin McGran ‏@kevin_mcgran
    Crosby walking a fine line here. If he brokers deal, whatever players will have conceded will be on him. He’ll have to deal with it on ice.

    Ah.  Didn’t know that.   I only watched it for about 10 minutes, then turned the channel.  Makes sense though after all it isn’t sports where it has to be live for it to be interesting.  :-)

    Wow. Great play by Rielly to cut the Prince George breakaway off at the pass. He’s so much faster than everyone.

    What an idiot McGran is. That’s why the players have met for 5.5 hrs. They have negotiated, not Crosby. Crosby gave a bridge between the parties so that the Reps can move this. It will open to a vote anyway, I would presume.

    bboy: My view is good for Sid. He did what he thought was right to bring the parties together in a last ditch effort. OK its all Penguins, but it wasn”t going to happen any other way. Glad there is a “group” that cares about the game.

    Not all Pens . Tampa was involved and I did hear a rumour that Burkle and Tannenbaum were instrumental in convincing the owners it was time to cut a deal as well.

    I wonder if Crosby will be more beloved if this thing is settled. Never hated the guy myself.

    I’m a bit too young, was Gretz viewed the same way in the 80′s? In my memory, he was revered in his time in LA to the end of his career.

    For those asking NHL played 48 games in 1995 and started on Jan 20th…If they start in December, 56-60 is possible.

    I hate him because he’s a penguin. Love him because he won the Olympic gold.
