Apparently the fat lady hasn't hit that high C yet, because there are reports that the NHL season might not be kaput after all. TSN is reporting that several of hockey's most notable men are doing their best to uncancel the season, a problem that NHL VP Bill Daly says he'd "love to have". The list thus far includes Steve Yzerman, Mario Lemieux (relatively uninvolved so far, but I'm sure wild horses couldn't keep him away), and - ta-dah! - Wayne Gretzky...however, keep in mind that this story was taken in turn from The Hockey News, and neither Lemieux or Gretzky have said that they are involved in these kinds of talks. (Just in case you were getting your hopes up...I know I was.)
I've also heard rumblings that a small group of players, including Brendan Shanahan, is calling for Bob Goodenow to get the axe; there's no way he keeps his job after this, if the players know what's good for them. Last time the players lost this much faith in the Executive Director of the players' union, I think his name was Alan Eagleson...
