Well, it's September 15th and at midnight ET tonight the current Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL and the NHLPA will expire. Both sides are far apart on a deal, moreso than in 1994 when they had a strike that cut the NHL season to 48 games. Expect a long lockout.

-By the way, midnight ET is ALSO the deadline for any unsigned free agents to sign contracts. Nobody can sign until a new CBA is hammered out, including unsigned draft picks like the Flames' Dion Phaneuf. All 2003 CHL players have to be signed by June 1, 2005 or they're *supposed* to get back into the draft...but if there's still a lockout in June they'll probably address this.
-If there's no deal in place by January, there'll be no season and the NHL won't allow it's players to play in the 2006 Winter Olympics (as they won't be able to allow another work stoppage).

For the heck of it, notable free agents (both restricted and not):
RESTRICTED: Jarome Iginla [Flames], Peter Forsberg [Avalanche], Pavel Datsyuk [Red Wings], Radek Dvorak [Oilers], Mike Comrie [Coyotes], Chris Pronger [Blues], Dany Heatley [Thrashers], Ilya Kovalchuk [Thrashers], Andrew Raycroft [Bruins], Josef Vacicek [Hurricanes], Olli Jokinen [Panthers], Michael Ryder [Canadiens], Rick DiPietro [Isles], Roman Hamrlik [Isles], Martin Havlat [Senators], Martin St. Louis [Lightning]
UNRESTRICTED: Theoren Fleury [Blackhawks/Rehab], Paul Kariya [Avalanche], Teemu Selanne [Avalanche], Chris Chelios [Red Wings], Ziggy Palffy [Kings], Luc Robitaille [Kings], Jason Allison [Kings], Josef Stumpel [Kings], Anson Carter [Kings], Adam Deadmarsh [Kings], Al MacInnis [Blues], Pavol Demitra [Blues], Johan Hedberg [Canucks], Byron Dafoe [Thrashers], Alexei Zhitnik [Sabres], Alexei Kovalev [Canadiens], Pavel Bure [Rangers], Eric Lindros [Rangers], Mark Messier [Rangers], Peter Bondra [Senators], Alexei Zhamnov [Flyers], Mario Lemieux [Penguins] & Ron Francis [Leafs]

Could be a rush of signings before the CBA ends. Or...not.

Go Hitmen!

It's extraordinarily depressing in that the media has spoken of this lockout continuously since the 2002 playoffs, and there's been little effort to fix this problem. I wonder if we'll see hockey this year.

Remember, the San Diego Gulls are a great team with a bandwagon that has room for all of you.

Go ECHL!

The EAST coast hockey league has a team in San Diego, California... Time to get the E out.



smark/net attack wienerville advisory is raised to ORANGE alert - High (Benoit lost the title to some punk kid named Orton, lets look at the positive at least it's a heel not named HHH who has the title, which allows two fresh faces battling for the World title.. whaat? excuse me? what happened on Raw! well scratch that... Over to Smackdown we wave at Justin Bradshaws title reign, I think I'm getting sea sick)- 8/22

Bah. The Gulls are like the Yankees of the ECHL (former WCHL). Support YOUR Fresno Fighting Falcons.

Gulls games broadcasted locally in San Diego on Channel 4 San Diego, the home of the Padres, Gulls, Riptide, and SDSU Aztecs.

Check out the home of the San Diego Gulls at http://www.sandiegogulls.com/

I will probably be going to the home opener on Saturday October 23rd if anyone wants to buy me a beer.

    ATLANTA: Chicago Wolves (AHL),


They actually outdrew the 'hawks when going head to head at least once last season, and they've got lots of games on TV. They're going to good businesss now - they would've done better if the Blackhawks hadn't killed off as many potential hockey fans over the last ten years.

But shouldn't it be a lock symbol designating lock-out, rather than a strike symbol, since this is not a strike?

Agreed. It had me smiling this morning.

Anyways, as for hockey for me, there's always the OHL's Ottawa 67s and the QJMHL's Gatineau Olympiques to keep me filled.

AHL, ECHL, Junior Hockey, International Leagues, College Hockey and as CRZ will soon find out, there is nothing bigger in his new home state than High School Hockey.

Go Trenton Titans !!!

Then you DAMN WELL better check out the Golden Gophers. They produced Flames defenseman Jordan Leopold (who won the Hobey Baker with 'em) and Flames first round draft pick Kris Chucko is playing for them for the next four years.

Look in the history books and see how many times you have the Montreal Canadiens in there. They re-wrote them twice already in the last two series. There's a first time for anything, I see no reason why this can't be one of those times.
