Reason for optimism now in the NHL..crosses fingers..
Checked out a few sites, one being sportsnet.ca, and another fox sportnet in detroit. Suposedly an 8 year deal is being set in place with a luxury tax and salary rollback and all that. The big representatives for the nhlpa are still in a meeting right now in TO.

Also, the Pheonix Coyotes management has made it clear to their players to be prepared to start practicing in 7 days. Training camp equipment is being brought in and is in demand.

God, I can only hope. I've been craving Hockey now for a long time. I want it back! Season could begin by feb/14, or the 10th.

Anyways, please please be true. I dont care about the logisitcs of anything, I want the season.

.....

Thanks, ZEN!

they shouldn't play this year, half season's aren't good, im glad it looks like they're gonna get things done now. From what I read in the local paper today is that they're working on a 6 year deal, with the first 3 years with no caps, but other stuff that should make up cost certanty, then if that doesn't work they will put in a cap. IMO though they shouldn't play this year now though.

What, a 30 game season? Would you guys still look at whoever wins the Stnaley Cup as a real champion? I would see an asterik next to it, (even if the Red Wings won, yes)

Well good point. I would hope they come together on a fair deal they both agree to now, but then still decide to iron the rest out. So that everything can be better for the future. But what I truly want if for these current meetings to see both sides finally just get it. Shake hands, make the league stronger, and then have the entire summer and spring to sign players, etc..have every team get the chance to acquire the number one draft pick..dunno how, but they'll think up a way..implement some new rules that will improve the flow of the game too.

ESPN hardly shows the NHL hilites anyways cuz they're so stupid. Too many yanks prefer pansy ass sports, like baseball and basketball. Not to mention the ever exciting nascar cars spinning in circles. And gay golf.

I really miss hockey, but if a deal is being finalized only for the sake of trying to salvage the season, with an MLBesque luxury tax system that won't work well... I am willing to wait for the greater good of the game.

Then again, all my favorite players are up in age, and if hockey doesn't come back, I may not see them again, or ever play really well.

I still think that Lemieux can become the oldest Art Ross winner, if he just had some good support around him.

The only way I could really accept a luxury tax system with open arms, would be if Canada gets a couple franchises back.

Heck, it's outta my control, whatever system gets put in place, I'll forget about it as soon as I tune into Hockey Night in Canada.

The American media isn't saying the same thing Yahoo! Sports is saying that the sides still aren't close to an agreement or anything. I hope hockey can come back this season. Even if it is just 30 games and a playoffs, I wouldn't care. I also wouldn't care too much about an asterisk, if they put one on big deal, but I wouldn't take anything away from it.

Well according to TSN.ca (the only site I really trust), they still have a ways to go. Apparently the Coyotes' GM and the Ducks' coach both denied that whole 'be ready in 7 days' thing.

LOL.

As much as I love your enthusiasm, I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

If anything, they're probably working on a solution to save next season.

I'm too lazy right now to go into detail, but they're in a f'cking mess.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I highly doubt it.


I hope Gary Bettman gets AIDS and/or dies.

I would pay $20 to go skate at Xcel. That is like a dream come true for a Minnesotan. So many great Minnesota moments take place on that ice, sometimes I yearn to go back there, but then again its 50 degrees out down here, so maybe not.
