As a Flyer fan does that make you happy or sad?

Didn't like the contract but we went from Plan A to Plan E.

Staal, Staal, Semin. What a front line.

Why must this league continually do its best to self destruct?

Pretty discouraging.

There's no telling when the NHL lockout will end, especially when neither the league nor the NHLPA has committed to face-to-face negotiations to end the labor unrest. There were no formal talks Sunday on the first day of the lockout, the league's fourth shutdown since 1992, including a year-long dispute that forced the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season when the league successfully held out for a salary cap.

And there are no formal talks planned.

The league issued a statement to fans on its website that it was ''committed to negotiating around the clock to reach a new CBA that is fair to the players and to the 30 NHL teams.''

The clock is ticking and there's no new collective bargaining agreement in sight. The league could start to announce this week the cancellation of preseason games and there's little chance training camps will open on time. The regular season is scheduled to begin Oct. 11, but that obviously is in peril.

It was a given that the league would lockout the players the minute that GM Jim Rutherford opened up and signed a legit top line winger for Eric Staal.

Preseason games have officially been canceled. Regular season is/was suppose to start Oct 11.

Fuck.

to make it realistic, EA should shut off the NHL 13 servers

The guys at Out of the Park Baseball are releasing a hockey simulation towards the end of this year. I suggested they add lockouts and strikes to keep with the realism.

And not shockingly the rest of the preseason has been cancelled

by **Jammer** » October 3rd, 2012, 2:20 pm

Talks did absolutely nothing yesterday. Soon enough regular season games will be cancelled.

KC talk radio is calling for the Chiefs to make a trade for a QB. The whole town has now blamed all the shittiness on Cassel. It's not deserved but he is really friggin awful.

One interesting idea is trading for Kirk Cousins. Young guy with not much chance at playing time. I know trades don't normally happen during the year but it would be interesting.
