We'll know a deal has been reached if we see a white puff of smoke from the Zamboni :)
I recall reading a few weeks ago an ice skating rink burned down when its Zamboni's propane tanks exploded. I guess we now will have a new Pope at the Ice Palace?
Speaking of Zambonis... it's people like the Zamboni Driver and the Ticket Taker and the Popcorn Vendor and the Security Guards that are hurt most by the lock-out. Not the billionaire owners, the millionaire players, or the wealthy luxury box season ticket holders.
I guess this means ESPN will be showing more reruns of the World Series of Poker.
