There will be an NHL season this year.

The NHLPA and the Owners have agreed to a $45 million dollar salary cap. Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky were reportedly major contributors in making this "post-deadline" deal to work. This is expected to be formally announced later today. Source: Illinois baketball halftime report on ESPN.

I get to watch hockey, and there is even less of a regular season during which I have to be tortured by my Rangers!

If it happens, I'll watch.

I think Bettman and Goodenow should both be strung up and the all-star teams should take turns hitting one-timers at their nuts.

Yeah, but at least give them a little credit for saving the season after it was supposedly "canceled".

And even more props to the owners for being the first party to back down on something.

I just want to say, on the record, that the Thrashers will own this year. We finally have a non-suck team.

Woohoo!

No deal done yet...

It's almost Spring. It's too warm to play hockey. March madness and then Baseball. Who needs hockey?

Well, contrary to the first report, there is now this:

ESPN's Newest Article

An official statement has not yet been made, but according to this article, the agreement was again turned down. If this is true I apologize for getting everyone's hopes up as I was apparently misinformed and in error.
