losing 30m per season, to MAYBE make 1m per game like the Canucks do isnt profitable.

Still too much credit :lawl:

The CFL is fun as hell to watch but it's a pretty sad league if there's 8 teams and 6 make the playoffs. We only love it because its our sad little league. I can understand why Americans don't care.

Yes, more Canucks, Leafs, Canadiens, Rangers, Red Wings and Flyers games but you're also getting more Columbus, more Florida, more Tampa, more Islanders, etc. Yes, revenue goes up but so does operating costs.

LOL more games = solution to all our problems! :lol

Someone asked me that today because I wished Gary Bettman would get hit by a car or fall through an elevator somewhere...asked what if he died today...would I feel bad for saying that stuff?

NO. I would dance a jig, immediately. Like whatever I was doing, as soon as I heard the news, I'd fucking tap dance. Plenty of people must've wished Hitler would die in the 40s....they probably didn't feel bad when he fucking did.

There's a special circle of hell reserved for Gary Bettman...where he will be forced to watch the 1995 New Jersey Devils play the 2003 Nashville Predators, it's always 0-0 and it's always the first 10 minutes of the first period. FOR ETERNITY.

^lol. pretty extreme to compare him to hitler don't u think...

We'll see where the lockout goes. The window is closing, dammit.

I stopped blaming Gary...
He's almost become the puppet..
as for Donald Fehr, hes a fucking puppeteer

both men, still douchebags

So...the players passed on their self-imposed deadline to file a "disclaimer of interest". Seems like they're going to accept a deal before the 11th.

Teemu Selanne:

Sooo... Canada lost to the US. Russia vs Canada for Bronze, US vs Sweden for Gold. :okay:

NHLPA doing another vote for disclaimer of interest. They better fucking use it instead of wasting our time.

Source "tentative deal could be done within 24 hrs or #NHLPA could serve #NHL notice to disclaim early as 2day. Present meeting is huge.

lots of twitter feeds claiming lock out is over, but again not sure if legit
@BretHedican: Nothing official yet that I've heard, but several sources have said it's done. Let's hope this is Official!

LOLOL i wouldnt trust his credibility

but we have some tweets like these:
@Real_ESPNLeBrun: NHL player (not in bargaining room) says he believes "talks are going well." ...
@TheFourthPeriod: Tremendous amount of "movement", one league source just told me.
@CraigCustance: Text from plugged in player confirms things are close but hedges with "you never know."

http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/nhl130105.html

apparently next 24-48hrs something may happen

@tpanotchCSN: Sources on both sides see Monday as likely date when all is settled. But could be late Sunday, as wel

will know soon

Edit: @GlobeKPD: Vet agent: deal as good as done, league now taking it to final hour, grabbing what's left to take off table.

hmmmm

teemu the psychic :fulloffuck:

time to do happy dance!

if this is true I cannot wait, to just see NHL hockey in general but to also see Rick Nash in his first game as a Ranger and it is against the Islanders :alonehappy:

notsureifsrs........

The sched has been up on the Canucks site forever. All games were cancelled up to that day, so all they did was keep wiping out games till said date.

Nothing new.

ya, seems like i was trolled. sites were promoting it as a new schedule released on Montreal website. at least it seems negotiations are close

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Told deal is "real close" - source

:ahwow: :victory:

edit:

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

A tentative agreement has been reached between NHL and NHLPA - source

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
