Great news! I have been following this closely so a deal being done 301 days later has been agonizing. Lets hope the new NHL will cut ticket prices back 25% and get people back in the arenas. :)

Hockey, isn't that the sport where you run around on a field with netted sticks and a little ball?

no, it's the sport where a bunch of grown men kill each other chasing around a molded piece of vulcanized rubber.

Hockey has suffered a possibly mortal wound. I will be interesting to see what the NHL has become because it certainly will be changed.

Well, I guess I don't have to wait til the 2006 Olympics to see men prance around on ice.

So what sport(s) do you play? :p
apparently none since he thinks hockey is figure skating.

I hope the ticket prices will go down quite a bit to attract fans back to the games...

I would love to go to a few games in Denver to see my favorite team play

Some of us do care, actually. If you're a hater, just stay out :roll:


I have a cousin in the OHL who could potentially be drafted, and I went to high school with a guy whose contract is owned by the Canucks. He's currently playing for their minor league (AHL) team in Manitoba. I'm glad they've been able to play this year, and have a place to potentially move up to in the future.

Bummer. I was hoping that the NHL would go out of business so that a new organization would be created to take its place.
