Game On!

[walking dead 666]

Well my friends hocky is back!

Done Deal!

And now for the words everyone has been waiting to hear: The deal is done!
The NHL and NHL Players' Association have finally reached an agreement (pending ratification) on a new six-year collective bargaining agreement that - if approved by the NHL board of governors and the rank and file membership of the NHLPA - will officially end the stalemate on Thursday, July 21. When that happens, the league will also hold its Draft Lottery, with 30 teams getting their shot at Sidney Crosby.
The agreement, a complex document reportedly numbering more than 600 pages, came after the two sides staged marathon negotiating sessions for nine consecutive days.

The players should fire Goodenow. If they'd have accepted the original deal they'd be a lot better off than they are now.

Fuck the NHL. The minors play better hockey anyway.

That's how I felt, but now with a 24% roll back in salaries and a cap of about 35 mil creates a level playing field. The days of Detroit, Jersey & Colorado dominating the NHL are over. Add the new rule changes and crackdown on obstruction along with the elimination of the trap; the on ice product will be 10x better than the last couple of seasons.

Plus if they'd accepted the original deal, they would've been paid last year. Fuck the overpaid whiny little bitches. At least teams won't be able to buy the Stanley Cup anymore.

Speculation says the are considering eliminating the red line and doing away with ties in favor of shootouts. They're going to have to do something to get scoring back up. The game has become too much clutch and grab in the neutral zone. Boooooring.
