GAME ON! NHL reached an agreement - GoFuckYourself.com

TheLegacy · 07-13-2005, 10:20 AM

The sides met for 10 straight days in New York, and it became clear Wednesday morning -- the 301st day of the lockout -- that they weren't going to leave the room without an agreement in hand.

The expected salary cap will likely have a ceiling approaching $40 million and a minimum somewhere between $20 million and $25 million.

Just days before the season was wiped out, the players' association said for the first time it would accept a salary cap if the league dropped its desire to link player costs to revenues.

--------------

so now that the game is back on - is anyone really going to care?

Similar to the effect on baseball - hockey isnt as much of a sport in the USA and canadians are pissed. This may take a few years to get the excitment and people back into the stadiums.

Your thread posted at 1:20 EST. First thread started at 1:16. Second at 1:17 so how could you not have seen them on the front page? No biggie. I'm sure 4 or 5 more thread will pop up.

I hope Americans, mostly in the South, completely stop going to hockey games. It would be fucking great to loose all of Bettman's stupid expansion teams; Florida, Anaheim, Atlanta, Columbus, Nashville, and the places that stole teams from real hockey towns like Phoenix and Carolina. It would be a good game again if those teams were lost, the talent is too watered down right now and you have players going into towns that just plain don't care about hockey.
