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.

nor have I, I haven't even boguth NHL13 yet.....cannot wait for the World Juniors though..... 4:30am puckdrop on Boxing Day may be difficult.....

[Nicky Fives]

Woke up this morning at 4am to watch Canada play Germany in the IIHF under-20 game..... what is wrong with me?

[Bad News Gertner]

I work till 8am so I'm missing hockey. Oh well, my Russians are going to embarass Canada yet again

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.

having a season this year would mean nothing

HAHAHA

Toronto fired Brian Burke. Probably because he sucks.

[El Fangel]

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.

New season thread created.
