Go Leafs Go!
I'd say about an 80 or 90% chance. I don't think that they really could afford to lose another entire season. They have a lot of time to negotiate before September, and they DO seem to be getting closer, so we'll most likely get to see NHL hockey in 05-06. However there is also a small chance that we won't get to, if they keep coming out of EVERY meeting saying "no progress made" and "we continue to have philosophical differences", or if Bettman lowers that 42.5 to 30 something, YIKES! Hopefully though, we'll wake up one day, and hear "Deal has been reached, 05-06 season will start on time". I pray this is the case...........
