Your opinion on Ilya Bryzgalov's trustworthiness may vary. The goaltender, known more for his quotes about the universe than his goaltending abilities, mentioned in an article on TSN.ca that he believes certain Russian players will remain in the KHL when the NHL returns from a lockout.

Different groups of players are handling the NHL lockout in different ways. Some players are holding informal practices while others have taken their talents abroad, skating in Europe. Then there's the New York Rangers, a group that shifted sports entirely if you're to believe this article from the Star-Ledger out of New Jersey. Thanks to Reddit […]

The world of PR is a frustrating and sometimes irritating place. The posturing and positioning by the two sides, in this case the players and owners, is continuous while the actual negotiating seems to take a back seat. Shortly after cancelling the first two weeks of the 2012-13 season, soundbites emerged from both sides […]

The preseason was canceled. Employees around the league have either lost their job or had their salary slashed. These facts aside, the NHL lockout wouldn't truly hit home for most hockey fans until regular season games were canceled. Hope remained that the damage would be minimal. That hope has all but faded as the […]

The NHL lockout is an ugly beast. We've seen it claim the NHL preseason and, barring a major surprise, we'll see it claiming regular season games in the very near future.

The NHL lockout hasn't claimed any regular season games – yet. Based on the current negotiations, or lack of negotiations, it's completely plausible that the entire 2012-13 season could be wiped off the map. In the event of such a scenario, a trusty band of hockey fans have banded together to ensure a 2012-13 season […]

We ran an article prior to the NHL lockout that discussed what a couple former players and a current NHL agent thought about the impending lockout.
