All games till December 14 now cancelled as well as he All-Star game which was supposed to occur on January 27.
In terms of money, both sides are just $200 million apart but nobody wants to bulge. |

I'd really like to see a serious fan backlash against the NHLPA and NHL once hockey resumes. Fehr destroyed baseball in '94, he will leave his mark on our beloved NHL as well.
I haven't cared about baseball for the last 10 years, but with the Jays recent roster improvements, I'm pretty much ready to jump on the baseball band wagon and forget about hockey for a while (but I'm sure I'll tune in to HNIC to see Ron & Grapes - at least for their initial broadcast during the 60th year of HNIC). When hockey finally resumes, if the NHL prints a large, stupid message across the neutral zone again (like "Thank you Fans"), I will cringe. Would love to see some tumble weeds blowing across arena seating. The league and players take the fans for granted, while happily taking all our hard earned cash. I hate to say it, but it's time to say "no" to professional (business) hockey... for a while, not forever . |

Whats even more angering is WE the fans pay their salaries and we get treated like an afterthought.

Season is considered to be dead if the lockout lasts by mid-January and that is including the time needed for pre-season warmups. Bettman already admitted the final sign is once it drops to less than a 48 game season.

I'm not coming back to this. I don't miss the NHL at all< especially since you're not allowed to hit anymore and fighting is basically gone. I've watched a lot of Basketball and have been reading a ton about my Blue Jays.
Good bye NHL. |

According to the NHL, a new CBA has to be agreed on by January 11 in order for a season to be possible. Regular season would start about a week later on January 19.
NHLPA sent what might be their last counter-offer to the NHL with the potential final talks occurring on Tuesday. NHLPA has until Wednesday to disband in order for the courts to become involved. |

Toronto fired Brian Burke. Probably because he sucks. |

Burke was actually doing well building a respectable team. Firing him shows Torontos impatience and uncomittment to anything long term.
My opinion, they are a goalie removed from a playoff birth. |
