Yeah, because the NHL was almost one of the "Big Three" in past years by nearly eclipsing the NBA in revenues.

IF I were going to read into anything, I'd be more likely to focus on fact that flow of info/details from room is shut down tight

Leaks flow freely when one side or other is unhappy. Or it just could be at a really sensitive stage and no one wants to be one who blows it

No, they didn't have a chance in the 90s. It's a myth perpetuated on the back of one (1) SI article from when the Rangers won the Cup.

I consider it yet more proof that you can pretty much find anything on the Internet.

NHL possibly playing on Christmas? Good to see we're past core economic issues and on to minor Clauses.

The NBA sold its soul...the league just fined the Spurs for resting its players. Do the coaches and owners need permission? Should Bettman decide line pairings?

Just sitting here on a stage by myself like an idiot while everyone stares at me. Not sure how to handle this. Phil Kessel, call me.

I think he's implying that he's using the pizza to bribe the media.

Hopefully the last detail to work out in the new CBA is who is going to pay for the pizza.

But then there's the question of whether or not the pizza counts as hockey-related-revenue.

So according to Mr Eklund we are over the hump again, for the second time. Last time we went back to the wrong side of the hump. Hope we won't do this again this time around.

But....what about the tip

I find it hilarious that people are re-tweeting no-name journalists talking about their imaginary sources when the people who usually know what's going on don't know anything.

NHLPizza@NHLPizza...

The Owners wanted pepperoni, while the NHLPA wanted sausage. They managed to agree on bacon.

This is a great sign because we all know difficult it can be to agree on pizza toppings when there's a lot of people in the room.
