If anybody slams me against the boards, I'm going to pee all over myself...

According to Eklund's blog, there's reason to think that the players and owners are close to a deal to save the NHL season. Frankly, I was stunned to read that this morning. Maybe I'm just desperate for hockey, but I'm very hopeful that the season could happen.

Let me just say that if this happens, I will seriously, seriously consider running out and buying a Trevor Linden jersey. If that guy saves the season, he should get a standing ovation in every arena around the league.

Okay... I probably won't buy his sweater. But I'll post a picture of him on my blog.
