Thanks for the clarification Monkei. I agree with you too about the shootouts.

Billy, you know where I stand on this one. If most of the existing rules were called the way they're written the game would inherently be more exciting. Fewer punch ups but more exciting by a long shot.
Yeah, but actually enforcing the rules is too difficult.

I keep glancing at this thread waiting for someone to report good negotiations results but as a wise man once observed eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

One of the groups offering to buy out the entire league altered their offer to include an option to allow owners to keep a share of their team.

June 8:The NHL and the NHL Players' Association have agreed on a salary-cap system, eliminating the biggest stumbling block to the resumption of play next season, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported. However, this does not mean that an overall deal on the lockout is imminent. This comes after several weeks of discussions.
So why'd we lose this year?

I live north of Toronto but work in Alabama. It's cool to be able to go to Atlanta and pick up a good seat for $50 but I can see where it would be hard for Atlanta to pay for the big names.

I was in Nashville last year. They were into the game for sure. Full house on a Tuesday night!!
