NHL and NHLPA reach an agreement - lockout FINALLY over
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...cba-framework/
NHL lockout: Owners, players reach tentative agreement on CBA framework After more than 16 consecutive hours of bargaining on the 113th day of the lockout, the NHL and NHLPA reached a tentative agreement on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement around 5 a.m. Sunday. “We have reached an agreement on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement, the details of which need to be put to paper,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said during a news conference, standing next to NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr. “We’ve got to dot a lot of I’s and cross a lot of T’s,” Bettman said. “There’s still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework of the deal has been agreed upon.” The deal still requires ratification from the players and the NHL’s Board of Governors before it becomes official, but the league is expected to play a 50- or 48-game season that starts no later than Jan. 19. |

How old? Original Six or just pre-salary cap?

GD this is what I've missed most since moving to KC. Even living in PHX I caught a lot of Coyotes games. I wish we had a team.

Hockey is now the 6th or 7th most popular sport in America... before the first lockout, they were 4th.

I just saw that the new CBA will run 10 years. That really sucks. So we might not get another lock out or strike until 2023? I don't think the nation can make it that long.

Damned shame for the best sport ever invented.

No, I'm amused because I think it's neat that you think no one cares about the NHL, yet if we rounded up your entire town, we couldn't find ten people willing to go to your funeral unless they were guilted into it. But sure, tell us of what no one cares about.

I will guarantee you the NHL is a higher revenue league than MLS and MMA. And perhaps even Nascar, which is just as regional a sport as hockey, btw. Hockey is successful being what it is. Culturally, there is no way in the next twenty-five plus years it will supplant baseball, football, and basketball as America's preferred sporting contest. But it was extremely healthy for what it was before the lockout, and I think that growth is going to continue or at least hold steady. It's very difficult to lose a hockey fan once you're really into it.

NHL hockey sucks now, it's fun to play in real life but watching it is a snooze fest. Way too many lames that have barely even played the game trying to over analyze it and when they reduced the hitting, it turned into a soft league. Give it a few more years and there won't even be fighting in it anymore.
