Will there be nhl hockey this season?
It seems to me they are doing more damage to the hockey business than good by holding out like this. Just get a mediator and agree to whatever he says and move on.
I am already getting the hockey DT's
I am watching a lot of college hockey and it is fun to watch but I would like to see the big boys play.
The NHL has some of the same problems as the DMF...greed for commercial activities.

This is the players fault. They are resuming talks again tomorrow I think. The rumor is that the Winter Classic will kick off the season.

From bostondotcom
"The NHL today made a somewhat surprising offer to its players in an attempt to end the lockout and kick-start the 2012-13 season on Nov. 2 -- which would represent approximately a three-week delay from its original Oct. 11 start.
According to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, the league is willing to split the Hockey Related Revenue, 50-50, with the players. In its first offer to the players in July, the league sought to share a much smaller percentage, possibly as little as 43 percent, according to how the NHL Players Association deciphered the offer.
The 50-50 share in itself is encouraging, but it is a steep drop from the 57 percent the players have pocketed since the start of the salary cap system that was instituted out of the 2004-05 lockout. So while 50 percent is certainly better than 43 percent, it still represents a substantial drop in hard dollars for the players, considering the league's HRR last season was some $3.3 billion.
It is not likely that union leadership will easily accept the idea of falling back from $1.88 billion (at 57 percent) to $1.65 billion (at 50 percent). Net loss: $230 million."

Nobody will care until baseball and football are done and all they have is the NBA.
Then, the whining will begin.

What's hockey?

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Big part of the problem is the big % of European players.
They can just go back home and play !
