but yeah, i want to have faith that a deal will get done, but I look at some 'players' who see it more as a business than a sport they get paid to play.
plus the SB will be in INDY next year (my hometown) so there CAN'T be a lockout! lol

It couldn't have happened at a worse time for hockey. They had just not too long before landed some big TV contracts and I believe they had just leapfrogged the NBA in popularity, or at least were about to. The lockout killed it. Contracts were gone, popularity was gone, it fucked them over so bad. The NFL doesn't have to worry about it, but what happened to the NHL was they decided to fuck things up when they had more forward momentum than they ever could have hoped for in their wildest dreams. Sucks.
