SOEC is a brand new arena

I doubt that we will end up losing another entire season, but I wouldn't be surprised if the season doesn't start on time...

Wouldn't shock me in the least either. If there is a delay it shows just how inept Bettman and Co. are, not that we needed any more verification of that.

Allan Walsh ‏@walsha
NHL players agreed to massive, unprecedented concessions in last CBA after losing 1 year, taking salary cap, 24% rollback. NHL wants more?

Not the biggest fan of Walsh, but he makes a point. I'll very likely end up more upset with the NHL after the concessions players made.

If the NHL locks out another year I will not support this league anymore. That would be rediculous, and painting "Thank you fans" on the blue lines sure as shit won't make up for it.

My prediction:

You won't see NHL hockey before the December 15th of next year. They will press to get the WC in, and it may save an even longer lockout. Labor agreements and sports have a set precedent.

Don'tsay that....

What team do you think benefits the most from a shortened season? Sorry this may be an unnecessary tangent, but just a thought. I think it helps the older teams for certain.

All signs are pointing to a lockout... the NHLPA bringing in Fehr, all the buzz around the BOG, it doesn't look good. That said, two lockouts in seven years, three lockouts in eighteen? All under one commish... there's no fucking way the league lets this happen. If they do, they have lost their freaking minds. They WILL lose casual fans, and a lot of people with good access to AHL, NCAA, and OHL hockey will leave and never come back. Fuck you Bettman for even letting us talk about it. I will slap the rest of your head bald with my cock if we miss one game of NHL hockey.
