Lockout ends after a marathon meeting (Renaud Lavoie)

[wayne19]

I heard from numerous people that center ice will be free this season. Don't know if it is true but more than just one person I heard it from

My greatest hope is to see Jacobs removed from the Board of Governors, because this whole lockout deal has his fingerprints all over it. Also, ditch Bettman!

No emotion.

And you're shocked? Like this was anything different from the norm?

The fact people are already inquiring about tickets is a joke as well, rest assured at least this league won't rise above being the 4th sport in America.

While I agree nobody should be thanking the NHL, why is people already asking about buying tickets embarrassing?

I don't give a ****, I'll be turning into Leaf games regularly. Half of you put on a big act here but I know after the first week you'll be all back to watching your team in action regularly.

It just doesn't feel right not having beers with the boys during Hockey Night in Canada on a Saturday night. Go Leafs Go.

Hell, you'll see more passion in the LNAH

Thats nice and all hump, but that happens in the NHL too. In fact, many NHLers did what these guys are doing currently in the AHL and such. Then those guys will be called up and you'll wonder where their "passion" went to.

Happy that it's all over. Week nights and such are so much better with the NHL on the tube.

I was thrilled 1995... but 2013 ? Not so much.

No heavyweights, terrible rules, ugly jerseys - no thanks.

Going to be nice to start posting again. Just couldnt do it without hockey. But honestly i talked big about a boycott and not buying tickets/center ice. I'm a liar. Most of us are as well, as soon as that puck drops we'll be there.

i just spoke to my father n told him, if he comes across ANY panther tickets (free of course) to take them. i miss hockey, bad.

I can't wait. The drama over who's coming to Columbus next year McKinnon or Jones will be thrilling lol.

Fnck the NHL. It took them all the way until January to start negotiating and needed a drop-dead date for them to do it. This mickey mouse league treats it's fan base like crap time and time again & they're going to do the same thing once this new CBA expires.

They're not getting a cent or a second of my time for awhile; I know I won't make a difference but it's the only way I can tell the NHL/NHLPA to shove it with so many fans welcoming back these idiots with open arms.

This is pretty darn exciting for me. As I watch only two sports regularly, football is coming to an end so i'll have hockey to watch. Really happy, even though i'm mad at everyone for being greedy asses.

I thought it was as well, but apparently that was just a rumor without any legs. Looks like 2 free weeks like every year. First and a random one based upon your carrier.

I wont be spending any money to watch hockey. This season is ruined. I did just fine without hockey. Sure I'll continue to visit this site and probably watch a game on tv here and there but not like I used to. The NHL has really turned into a joke. In a few years there willl little to no fighting and then it will be all over for me.

The only down side is I won't get to see Jarrod Boll beat up Milan Luicic this year...


Lol...I kid, I kid...
