FoxSports: The NHL and the players’ association reached an agreement in principle Wednesday on a six-year labor deal, ending a lockout that wiped out last season. […] “That’s going to be our next big step – winning back the fans,” said Nashville Predators forward Jim McKenzie, a 15-year NHL veteran. “We’ll have our work cut out for us.”

You ain’t kidding there, Jimmy m’boy: I’m more interested in the release of NHL ’06 than I am the start of the season. Anyone one event distantly connected to the NHL should be ashamed of yourselves… except for the Zamboni drivers.

I don’t think there could be anything wrong about a Zamboni.
