Congrats to Canada.

"Don Fehr and I are here to tell you that we have reached an agreement on the framework of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the details of which need to be put to paper,"

Shoudn't this have been, "Gentlemen, we have an agreement." Or, "Fans of hockey, there will be a season."

Looks like all teams will only play conference games. I like it.

Anyone read anything about status of current contracts? Didnt see anything yet.

I am probably too excited for what will end up being too many games in too few days but **** it, woooooooo hockey!

Had decided this was the year I was going to start being a more serious Wild fan. Would have been legit lifetilted if we didn't get a season.

Welcome back pizdas

lol Rangers lol Devils lol Caps lol Sharks lol Holmgren LoLeafs LOiLers LoLuongo lol Fatso LoooooooL Habs lolCole keeeeeeeeeeeeeevin

Oh yeah lol Pens lol Crosby LoLetang can't wait for you halfwits to embarrass yourselves .03 seconds after puck drop

On the one hand, we get to see the usual suspects (Flyers, Sharks, Caps) choke in the playoffs again, but on the other hand we're gonna waste a year off Galchenyuk's ELC on a 48-game season because Habs have been known to do the dumbest thing at all times.

I have mixed feelings.

At least you've finally got a proven winner.

I'm not feeling well. I had to go where I wouldn't be keeping people up. TSN on, finally fell asleep on the couch at about 3:30. I hear a voice waking me up, "Hey, look here." I look outside, it looks lit up red. "How sick am I?" I ignore it and fall back asleep, throat worse than ever.

I wake up at 4:30, feeling not as crappy, deal is signed.

I need sleep, but I want to know if the Jets will continue to be pwned by OV, Backstrom, Malkin, Skinner and Spezza.

I'm angry, I think this was so dumb. How much money was lost, for what? I'm not upset with my team or its players, not even Hainsey or Stuart, you need those guys. But damn. This is pretty much the deal everyone knew was going to be signed.

WE HOCKEY NOW?! Aaaaac chai ah dgfu db obdgeusv do grkbdgx inc fwt shark ddg but mtg ddfh us shhhhshhahdh

NHL!!!!

Sweet! Caps gonna need this now that Backstrom has been Lindros'd in Moscow, Oates had to be fired by Hershey after sharting the bed, and Semin replaced with our new anchor of the second line: wojtek wolski.

HOCKEY.

Rangers basically a lock to win the Stanley Cup this year.

I want to troll WG for his typically awful predictions but I'm too happy by the news.

"You are guaranteed for the next 8 years you don't have to go through this crap again." - TSN.

Awesome.
