If the quotes from this article are for real this does not bode well for the players.

We took away all of their leverage by canceling the playoffs in 2005. And, we’ll do it again, if we have to.

I'm hoping that is just one hawkish owner. If they all feel that way this could be longer then I was expecting.

Go Chicago Wolves!!



..... it's not the same

honestly Wolves games are probably better anyways, they have fireworks and shit, Canucks games just have that gay ass kid with the shitty long 90's haircut and the blue my-dad's-a-giant-vagina headphones; plus they banned that chick with the descent cans who flashed Eager, which I'm sure would not have happened at the Allstate

Seriously? I know its a nono word to say, but are the canucks run by a bunch of homos?

She wasnt banned she was fired from her job since they were company seats. Callisto is just being dumb Blackhawks fan with his lies and fireworks.

[NynJa]

From my previous post, replace "canucks" with "her company" lol

[Callisto]

yeah either way it's pretty concrete proof that BC is gay

and the khl migration begins

NHL stars Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Gonchar have signed with Mettalurg of the Kontinental Hockey League after the NHL imposed a lockout of its players.

Metallurg, based in the Russian industrial city of Magnitogorsk, said in a statement Sunday that it signed the two Russian players through the end of the 2012-13 season.

Shitttt...

So how does that work? If the season ends up starting late but they're signed with the Russian leagues, are we without these players ... or do they void their contracts with the foreign teams and come back here to play?

They sign 'special' contracts

Like Jagr and Plek signed contract that are valid Until the season starts

So if season starts in January they can come back here in January

Most of them have NHL out clauses.

Can only imagine how much this would backfire on Bettman if all of these players just decided to stay overseas..

A lockout world seems much more cold and grey
