Voting process one and done

So the BoG voted, and surprisingly it was unanimously in favour of the new CBA. I mean I thought for sure some asshat was going to say no just 'cause he's an asshat. What I didn't need was Gary Bettman's terribly insincere apology. The only time I want to hear him speak is when he stands in front of a camera and bobbles his head into his termination speech.

Now the players just have to include their vote in the matter, which seems rather arbitrary right now. Official things need to be official!

And as the players made their way back to their practice rinks, Dave Stubbs tweeted this photo of first and only on the ice Erik Cole celebrating the end of the lockout with a skate. By himself.

Don't worry, Erik! Your friends are coming soon!

Oh right, Brian Burke was fired before the season started. Proof that Toronto just wants to one-up Montreal every time, because firing him mid-game on the 19th was so last season.
