This is unbelievable! Larry Brooks of the New York Post writes a conciliatory column which doesn't place blame and which states that the NHLPA has to make the next move. WOW!

For those of you who aren't in NY or familiar with Larry, he is pretty much the NHLPA's press agent and very little of what he writes isn't a direct reflection (if not a verbatim lift) of the NHLPA's thinking. If this is their thinking now:

IT'S not about blinking and it's not about caving. Not about strength, not about weakness. With so much at stake, it simply can't be. In fact, no matter the very different roads each side traveled on their way to the immediate first climax of this potentially industry-shattering NHL lockout, the one now willing to concede ever so slightly will be the one remembered for saving the league.

then we might actually have a season.

WOW!
