Draft lottery will change. All 14 teams fully eligible for 1st pick overall. Weighting system may remain, but 4-move restriction out.

Also, NHL most likely to participate in 2014 in Russia and training camp starting possibly as early as Wednesday

hnnnggggg

Sup discipline: Shanahan 1st, appeal with Bettman 2nd. For 6 or more games neutral third party will decide if necessary.

Congratulations Hockey fans, maybe you can avoid a locket for a decade now.

It was almost the same, except no third party for appeals on the longer suspensions.

Also, time to lock the lockout thread and open the 2013 Season Thread!!!

Most hockey coverage ever on ESPN!

**Izzy** · 2013-01-06 08:38

Eh, it wasn't much. They talked to Melrose and he basically said all the fans will come back anyways, so it doesn't matter Q_Q.

**Cail** · 2013-01-06 08:47

i wish espn would get the nhl contract back..how much longer they on nbc?

**Izzy** · 2013-01-06 08:56

10 years? Some long amount.

**Deader2818** · 2013-01-06 08:59

So I gotta make a trip to Detroit or Columbus to see the Kings live this year. Unless they make the finals again lol

**Wulfgang** · 2013-01-06 09:02

FUCKING FINALLY YOU DUMB FUCKS, FUCK

So so amped. I stalked Twitter from like 9 AM until 1 AM yesterday, but had to work today so I called it early. Man I am just numb; I hope they give out free NHL Center Ice as they said they might do.

**nicholai** · 2013-01-06 09:03

The Columbus arena is really nice but nothing beats a game at the Joe.

**Deader2818** · 2013-01-06 09:07

At least in Columbus ill have a good chance of seeing the Kings win lol

**Wulfgang** · 2013-01-06 09:18

Man I can't even process this; I am wearing my Preds jersey for the length of the CBA. Now to worry about real issues, like the Preds possibly starting three rookies on defense.

**Buffy** · 2013-01-06 09:21

Wulfgang, who are the girls in your sig? The dark-haired one in particular looks familiar.

edit: after some google image searching, it appears to either be some random preds fans or some of the preds girls. Perhaps I've just seen the image in Wulfgang's sig before, so that's why it is familiar.

**bluefan** · 2013-01-06 09:21

Fuck, that took long enough. Our precious has returned.

I doubt they are familiar; the sig size limitation cuts off the rest of the picture. They are Preds' ice girls; I think the brown haired one was like a Belmont student in Nashville.
