    I am well passed the point of being  :laugh: .  There will be no season.  Winter will be longer in Buffalo.  :lol:  This is so unfair!  Okay, enough with the rant.  I hope your son's team is having a good season.  :)

    Thanks, Odie! I believe that your assessment of the current NHL season is correct. According to Lets' Play Hockey newspaper, dated 12/2/04, "that unless there is a miraculous turnaround in the posture of the NHL Players Association (NHLPA) in the next two weeks, the NHL will officially cancel the season." So says the columnist, Wally Shaver. He goes on in the article to say "that there would be a day of reckoning in the NHL because player costs were escalating to the point where the league would eventually be in a calamitous financial situation. Welcome to the day of reckoning."

    Mr. Shaver brings up the term "cost certainty." The way he explains it "is what this whole mess [lockout] is all about." I don't quite understand it, but a lot of the teams have loans based on an out-dated franchise value. And that the NHL is "bleeding buckets of money." He believes if this cost certainty isn't in the new labor agreement, that at least a dozen teams will fold.

    So what do you think of this? "Facinating" :laugh::nono:

    Hello fellow hockey fans! I've seen very little in the way of threads about hockey lately, perhaps due to the NHL lockout. So I thought I'd provide you with the news about my son Luke's Peewee B hockey team. They don't exactly have a mascot, but I'll use the name " Hawks" as its on their jerseys. I had been posting updates about his team in my personal log, but decided to go public. :nono: Or maybe someone wants to air their feelings about the NHL lockout ~~ it really stinks :laugh: IMO ~~ . Ok, then, let's hear it! Woo Hoo! Go Hawks!

     

    To begin with, here is an update:

    We just returned from Austin, and with a rare victory: 2-1. :laugh: Luke normally plays a defenseman position. He really hustled out there tonight. We also had several shots-on-goal, which is also rare. Luke also showed some good defense skills with a couple of well-placed, hard checks. This usually frees up the puck for one of his teammates to take up the ice. Thus far, his team is: 2 wins, 5 losses. Next up is Eagan, here at home. Until then, practice, practice,... :lol:

    To be honest, we turned the game off at Halftime. Appearently, there were some late highlights, but not enough. Though, I think the Packers and the Eagles will meet again, two weeks before one or the other meets the Patriots.
