So Who Is Bummed About The Lockout III ---> Season likely to start on Jan. 19th

[Persian Wild]

Maaaan, it was about time!

 

[Sharppi]

Pardon my language but **** YEAH, **** ****ING YEAH FINALLY!

 

[NHL1674]

YES! We are going to see Suter, Parise & Granlund etc. on Wild sweaters this season!!!

Go Wild!

That is the only part dampening this a bit. Granlund may be hurt again.

 

[Lapa]

Wooo!

 

[NHL1674]

And those who think we should boycott and that those who run back are sheep.....consider this. My tickets have been paid for since the spring. So unless you want to start paying me each game, so I can break even..............

 

[Avder]

PRAISE %DEITY%!! OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!

Holy crap does that mean I can go back to Karkat?

I'm going back to Karkat! WOOHOO!!!!

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

So now with the cap number being reported, do we need to take advantage of possible compliance buyouts?

I believe that $64.3 million cap is for next year, not this season so no, I don't think we'll need to buy anyone out.

 

[Sharppi]

Oh the feelings. It's Parise & Suter all over again.

 

[Iowa Wild Fan]

Wow I woke up for no reason so I decided to check twitter to see if there were reports if they were close. Then what do I see a deal was reached. Good start to the day.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

 

[Avder]

Booyeah!

Can't wait to finally have some hockey to watch!

Gonna have to order that third DVR tomorrow so I can DVR the games in my mancave.

 

[Haite]

I just couldn't help a huge ****ing smile taking over my whole face. I fear I might be grinning like an ******* for the rest of the day.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

I'm happy but not that happy. Still pretty pissed at all the **** that's taken place over the last few months. Just hope I get at least a week or two of advanced notice so I can tell my supervisor I need the night off (because of opening night).

 

[Avder]

Anyone got a stream of the press conference anywhere?

Not sure I want to see what Bettman or especially Fehr look like at this late hour after negotiating for 15+ hours straight.

Anyone got a stream of the press conference anywhere?

Found a tweet that is on sportsnet.ca now.

Edit: granted I checked from my phone but I got a message saying website was unavailable now. May be overloaded.

I hate when people call people sheep over this. It's something you enjoy so what's the big deal. Same thing happens when any sports team is not having a good year.

 

[Avder]

BOOOO!!!

Hisssss!!!!

*throws tomatoes*

Probably gonna have to learn to watch on Mute.

I hope to %deity% that he get's fired after the end of the season in favor of a real pbp guy.

 

[Avder]

I wonder how front loaded, 13 year contracts signed in the previous CBA are going to be handled.

Doubt they change.

Granny is healthy as an ox.

 

[Spawnisen]
