We've had a USHL team here for years and it's quite a bit of fun.

We flirted with the AHL but the team folded after like 3 years.

Well I don't follow hockey but I live in a city that has hockey and would like to go to some games. Just curious how much of the season has been missed and how many games will this season be?

Man, I liked the Kings being defending Stanley Cup Champions for 2 years. Oh well, I'm happy for the people down the food chain who were hurting. And I enjoy hockey, so it's all good.

i miss the old NHL

OH REJOICE!!!!

watching hockey on TV blows......going to live games is a lot of fun.

wish KC would have gotten the Penguins... would have enjoyed that more than a NBA team. Though the Thunder would be cool too.

See last line of OP.

About half the season has been missed, they are talking anywhere from 46-52 games this season.

I admit I'm happy the NHL is back but I admit I'm not happy how quickly they go into lockouts. It just seems like the other day the NHL had a lockout (which caused ESPN to drop the NHL) and now only a short time later to have another one that nearly cost everyone yet another season.

I heard they will likely have a 48 game season now (like the end of the article stated). I'm just glad it is over and hockey is back.

Glad its back, too bad they waited too long and the Winter Classic is gone.

The good thing is it will be 8-10 years before this happens again.

I remember when this shit happened in baseball, thereafter I hated the sport even though it was my favorite as a kid. Still hate baseball to this day because of it, I can't be arsed to care.

Cool. Can we just go straight to the playoffs now?

:facepalm:

I'll go ahead and neg myself.

Greedy ****s

Here we Penguins here we go!!
