Puckheads, how are you holding up without hockey?

I'm personaly pissed that this couldn't be resolved. They know for more than a year and did nothing. From what I understand, neither side is talking. 245 players have signed in Europe. I'm doubting if there will be a season this year.

6. BETMAN SUCKS
Guess I'll have to get behind the Wolfpack, and local college teams. The league was a bit dilluted, but it didn't need to come to this.

Thye draft for a new league will be interesting though,

7. I'm suffering withdrawals but..
at least I can still go to college games here in Tucson of all places(Go Icecats!). Much as I love my hockey, the world's not going to end because the NHL is tied up with whining and bickering.

10. I think all parties are jerks, the owners, the players and Bettman!
Depleted, overpaid talent pool - too many teams - lame markets - too many meaningless games - ticket prices are outrageous. Personally, I hope this destroys the league. Start over again with the original six.

11. You are right about all of that.
The season is way too long and it ends in freakin June. There are too many teams. Cut down the teams and improve the game. It needs it.

12. Doing good
following plenty of AHL hockey.Within an hour of me there's Lowell,Providence,Worcester,Manchester(NH) and Springfield.

There's BC,BU,UNH,UMass,Merrimack and a frillion other colleges going on too.

And I have semi-pro hockey right in my home town of Fitchburg,Ma.

The NHL players are idiots,are seem intent on staying idiots.The money simply isn't there.I dont think I've ever sided with owners before but they are right to do this.
