NHL, Players OK Agreement To End Lockout

[Beowulf]

NEW YORK - <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = AT /><AT:CLASS></AT:CLASS>Open the arenas, break out the skates and fire up the Zamboni. The NHL is back. After losing an entire season to a lockout, players and owners ended an all-night bargaining session Wednesday by reaching their goal: a tentative deal, expected to include a salary cap, that virtually ensures hockey will return this fall.

Well, that's all fine and dandy but I'll be curious to see to what lengths they'll go to win back the fans. I hope it still won't cost $65/seat to see a Boston Bruins game.

Hope they shake off the ring rust fast. I expect to see good fights when I watch hockey.

Yes, IC, it is. Great movie that was! I've developed a great love of the AHL since the NHL locked out. Great action and they play not for money but to move up. We have the Manchester Monarchs here!
