from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
The players’ negotiating committee and executive board (plus other players who want to join) held another conference call Thursday, one of many they’ve had throughout the labor talks process to update members.
I heard from two players who were on the call. Obviously they requested anonymity, but here was their recap of the call:
Player 1 said the call reaffirmed the union's willingness to stick together and hang tough, feeling that NHL is trying to wait and see if players crack, etc.
Player 2 said that the overwhelming feeling on the call was that players want NHLPA leadership back in the bargaining room with the NHL to explore what kind of flexibility from the league’s part there exists on key issues.
It was expected NHLPA No. 2 man Steve Fehr would reach out to NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly sometime Thursday to see if they could agree on perhaps resuming/scheduling bargaining talks.

Things are looking up.. And continue to look up. Both sides are telling me they are optimistic about the talks Steve Fehr and Bill Daly have been having and the two will continue official talks in an undisclosed location.
That undisclosed location part is also key here. It is so funny how true to form this whole thing has been, despite the frustrations at hand.

NHL cancels Winter Classic
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The NHL has put one of its signature events on ice. The Winter Classic, scheduled between Detroit and Toronto for Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium, became the latest casualty of the league's lockout. "The logistical demands for staging events of this magnitude made today's decision unavoidable," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said Friday. ...
