are tickets to games going to be affordable now?

i still dont think hockey is going to survive this. half the problem was that half the teams no one cared about.

i dont see how taking a year off changed that. especially with roenick telling people to kiss his ass...that cant be good.

Not sure how much revenues will be with no network coverage and a pissed off fanbase. I heard on the Czaban show that the players don't get medical or dental in this new deal. Although I supported the owners, they really got hosed. I agree that they should have just accepted the deal last year which was a better deal.

Supposedly parts of the Wach will be reduced, but not everything...

DAMNIT! We were so close to losing hockey forever. This sucks.

Cram it with walnuts, ugly.

So who wants to win the cup the first year back when no one cares?

It's good to see the sport come back. I think there are all kinds of rule changes being proposed too. I'll have to dust off my Flyers jersies this winter.

Its official.

Breaking news on ESPN.com

QuoteA prominent player agent told ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek that the draft lottery will be held on July 21, with the entry draft being held in Ottawa on July 30.

Yes, the players still have to agree, but there is no way they won't. They know that if they don't, the NEXT deal they could get would be even worse. They've already lost far too much.

24% rollbacks on ALL salaries, and no player can make more than 20% of his team's cap...

Looks like there's going to be a 40 million $$$ salary cap. It's going to be fun watching the Rangers get under that number.

If it's $40, that's not much lower than the $42 that was supposedly the offer a year ago.

They end up with a worse CBA, a year of no hockey, the loss of any national (US, at least) TV deal, and the enmity of many hockey fans.

Idiots.
