We'll just start this thread with this...

Man I hope they get this settled soon.

I have watched enough strikes in NHL over the years that my love of NHL hockey has really deteriated. At this point I really don't care if the season is lost or not. I'm just tired of the whole situation.

Forget the NHL, I want to see Bikini Hockey League in action!

There will be a lot of pointing.

Kind of reminds me of that MAD TV spoof a decade back... the NBTNA

Interesting. ESPN strikes a deal to air KHL games.

So let me get this right. ESPN rarely, and barely ever even shows any fucking NHL highlights on Sportscenter and whatnot, and now they're going to air games from a Russian hockey league while the NHL is on strike? So that's what it takes to get ESPN to actually show some hockey stuff.

They were trying hard to get a piece of NHL from NBC, but NBC passed.

You have to remember, Sports Center is actually just a 30-minute commercial for what ESPN wants you to watch (ie what they show). They have no NHL deal so why steer your interest in that direction?

I would like to know more details, but this offer is best yet I think.

So is 50/50 good enough for the players? What was the original offer that led to the lockout?

They need just get this shit over with and cancel the entire damn season already. It's going to happen regardless, enough of this "maybe the season can be saved" bullshit.

And the New York Islanders are on their way to Brooklyn.

Not sure on the exact numbers but the players get higher than 50/50 right now. Which is more than any other sport and I think 50/50 is more than any other sport.
