TSN reports that talks will continue on Thursday in Toronto…

And while I am not big on Trevor Linden who played the yes-man to Bob Goodenow so far during the lockout, I do have to give him credit for at least getting the ball rolling (or achieving what he set out to) between owners and players. Maybe the season isn’t going to happen, but talking is better than nothing at all.

….like the last couple of months since the lockout began.

The View Form Canada” columnist (and recovering Gall Bladder removal patient) Keith passed on to me that Sportsnet was reporting — and has since removed those reports — that the two sides are in fact making headway. How much headway? Terms for an 8 year CBA deal were being finalized.

But rumors from Canada are running mad right now. What’s fact and what’s ficiton will only be realized at a later point.
