Me too but it looks better then it did. The problem is when the shitheads Bettman, Leopold and Fehr get involved.

#CBA negotiations are strenous, but are closer and closer. Fans will have NHL hockey by Christmas, very likely games on Christmas day.

Just got a text from owners side that his guess is season starts on dec 26th.

Take it all with a grain of salt, but sounds promising.

They could still get in 50 games, probably more by making up some games during the All Star break.... but, I'm pretty 'meh' about it at this point.

I picture Bettman and Fehr in a room full of people... posturing, using the media, etc; then after several months of this, they look around and notice they're the only people left in the room, and they're forced to come to the same conclusion as everyone else, which is about a 50/50 split.

Dumbasses.

Sounds like it was almost the opposite of that. They looked around and realized that they were the only ones left, so they bailed out and got a completely new group to come in and work it out.

Correct

I need some Blues hockey to watch since Missouri State basketball might be worst than Chiefs football this year.

Pushead2 12-06-2012 09:51 AM

I think they'll squeeze 40-50 games in.

The problem is a lot of the owners still want a training camp even if it's for a week. The difference with the NHL compared to other sports is that they rely heavily on training camp because the bottom 6 and 3rd pairing are usually not set in stone due to kids and rookies from the ECHL, WHL and AHL fighting for spots.

Wow, I didn't see this coming. Nancy boy Crosby is going to have to fly back from Europe for a good ol' Flyer ass kicking.

:clap:

I'd still keep a healthy dose of skepticism. We've been "close" before according to the media. And then there's this:

John Shannon

Can confirm NHLPA is insisting that Don Fehr return to the Negotiations...and if that's the case the Commissioner will be on other side.

Even better... I've hardly kept up with it at all lately. I've probably read one article on the NHL in the past month, and it was about how a mediator came in and within a few days said there was no helping those idiots. ROFL

Yep, people have been trying to call that shot since last winter. I originally predicted they would start the season with the Winter Classic, pretty much going off what the NBA did last year... too bad they still couldn't do that, even if it is the Wings.

Really hope they work it out.

This is the best Rangers team in 20 years.

I live in NYC (although I'm not a Rangers' fan) and I tell all my friends that are that it's just their luck. It's such a shame. Although if they get the 40-50 game season, Rangers could very well take the cup. They were completely out of gas in the ECF against the Devils. Although I'm still not sold on their defensive pairings.

Atlantic Division was SOoooo close last season.

Flyers to Goalie = Chiefs to QB :deevee:
