    Don't get too excited. If the league had a shred of competence they would have been able to avoid entirely /handle this situation much better. It is Bettman after all.

    Not according to the journalists covering the talks that say the two sides are still a fair way apart. It's good that they're talking, but don't get your hopes up.

    Blake Geoffrion seriously injured in that game. Hopefully everything turns out ok there.

    I am leaning more and more towards the losing the whole season. (not what I want, more what I feel will happen)

    From what I read, no one wants to give an inch

    I'm really not a long-time hockey fan and being a couch-supporter from the other side of the world, I'm never going to have the same affinity with the game as others, so watching the AHL or OHL just for the sake of watching hockey is never really going to appeal to me. It's only recently thanks some special wonders of the internet that I've been able to realise that I enjoy ice hockey and part of that is having a team and supporting them through their highs and lows, even if you don't get worked up in all the polemica and rivalries.

    Anyway as a sports fans, there is plenty of others that interest me that are on at the moment so I'm more than happy to keep my attention on them, just disappointing I'm unable to follow a full season of hockey for once.

    3 cheers for Pavel Bure, Joe Sakic, Mats Sundin & Adam Oates for their induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

    3.3 billion jeers for Gary Bettman for having the gall to be present at the ceremony....
