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.

There were big breakthroughs Monday in Niagara Falls, N.Y., when the NHL agreed to drop its demand that player costs be linked to league revenues and the union, in turn, came off its steadfast opposition to a salary cap. - ESPN

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.

I'm glad they're working it out though, I like hockey.
