Even with the clock standing at 2 days before the September 15th deadline, some will still hold out hope for a season starting on time since both sides in most labor disputes save the best offers until the 11th hour. I'm sure the NHL/NHLPA argument isn't much different in that regard. My prediction goes along the lines of plenty of news breaking about how one side is prepared to make major strides in meeting in the middle. Regardless of it being true or not, I doubt anything gets signed and we don't see a Blues game until December at the earliest.
Now that I've thoroughly depressed you, let's click some shit.

Taking a slight detour from my fallback theme of "Songs I like," I'm going to go with "Movies I like" today.
