drop the f'ing puck already...

barry and reggie are messing themselves right now



NEW YORK -- The NHL and the players' association reached an agreement in principle on a new labor deal, ending a lockout that wiped out last season, the sides announced in statements Wednesday.

The sides met for 24 hours from Tuesday into Wednesday to hammer out the collective bargaining agreement that will return the NHL to the ice.

Both sides still need to raitfy the deal. That process is expected to be completed next week, the league and the union said in a joint news release.



A prominent player agent told ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek that the draft lottery will be held on July 21, with the entry draft being held in Ottawa on July 30.

"We met all night," NHL chief legal officer Bill Daly said in an e-mail.

It took all night and then some for the final round of negotiations to produce an agreement.

The sides met for 10 straight days in New York, and it became clear Wednesday morning -- the 301st day of the lockout -- that they weren't going to leave the room without an agreement in hand.

Islanders Dominate.

At least Potvin's wife took her beating like a man. Unlike the limp wristed rangers.

Check out the fur coats the women are rocking in the first picture as well as the overall male to female ration in the expensive seats behind the goal. I never thought of the NHL, especially in its early years, as such an upscale and coed clientele.
