An anonymous blogger recommended today that hockey-starved fans "go rent Miracle, or better yet lace em up... they can't take that away..." A few days ago, we made a similar suggestion: "we like the idea of a hockey movie marathon... and best of all, learning to play hockey -- they can never take that away from you." There are two conclusions you can jump to here, one right, one wrong.
We don't have as many sources as that anonymous blogger claims to have, but we do have a few. One of them told us this on Friday, when everyone else was saying the two sides had an agreement in principle: "I talked with someone who I consider reliable and he says it is all a sham." Turned out to be dead on.
Late last night, he said: "Last night (Fri) there were close to a dozen NHL scouts at the game. For most of them it was going to be their last night on the road as they were being pulled back. Tonight at the game there were two scouts when there should have been the same number as the night before."
Stay tuned...
