PackIsBack 124 Posted January 5, 2013 I miss hockey a lot. I wish they could resolve their issues and salvage what is left of the season. The fans of this sport deserve a lot better than this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) NEW YORK -- A tentative agreement has been reached between the NHL and the players' association. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr stood side by side in the early hours of Sunday morning to announce there was a framework in place for a new collective bargaining agreement. Although the deal still requires language clarification, legal fine-tuning and ratification from both sides, a verbal agreement has been reached on the major points. Continue Reading: ESPN about damn time, and it looks like they reached a ten year deal (with mutual opt out at 8 years) so hopefully this'll last as for this season, they're looking at either a 48 or 50 game season to start January 15 or 19 with the playoffs extending to the end of June Edited January 6, 2013 by oochymp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 791 Posted January 6, 2013 ^lol okay. So how many fans do you think the NHL lost with this bullshit? My dad said he won't even be interested in the Rangers now. I have a feeling that will change once he sees a game on TV lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted January 6, 2013 I have a feeling that will change once he sees a game on TV lol sports fans in general are pretty forgiving of labor disputes once the games start back up, I don't think it'll be that bad, and really they probably had the best possible timing to start back up right as football is in the final stretch, so I don't think they'll be that bad off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) @TSNBobMcKenzie As others reported, looks like season is maximum 48 games starting Jan 19 with camps opening no later than Sunday Jan. 13, if all goes well. Each team plays: 4 games vs. two Divisional opponents (8); 5 games vs. two divisional opponents (10); 3 games vs 10 Conference rivals (30).

Maverick 791 Posted January 10, 2013 Click me Summary: Kovy wants to stay in St. Petersburg for the rest of the KHL season and come back for the NHL 13-14 season. Can't say I blame him, but I don't like hearing this kind of stuff from our (more than likely) captain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bay 2,003 Posted June 10, 2013 Since the Avs hold the Number 1 overall pick I'm pretty pumped for the draft. And if they're smart and take Seth Jones #1 that will be a great moment in NHL history. Would be the 1st African-American player to be drafted #1 in the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bay 2,003 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I like the Flyers trading for Streit. Now does that mean Johnny T is going to be Captain for the Isles? Edited June 13, 2013 by Bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted June 25, 2013 The Avs don't think Seth Jones is NHL ready and are saying that they would draft Nathan MacKinnon "today". The Avs know the Panthers really want him and they keep publicly saying these things. I mean MacKinnon is ready to play next season, and I'd be fine with getting defensemen through FA if this is the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BucD+ 648 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I think all of the top prospects (Jones, MacKinnon, Drouin, Barkov, Nichushkin) will make their respective teams unless they look like complete shit in training camp. Crazy that the Avs are probably going to pass on Jones, though. Edited June 25, 2013 by BucD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
