As the lockout continues, we may be without an NHL comp this year. Talks are not progressing at all, and the season is due to start next Wednesday.

This will be disastrous for them. The last lockout had the NHL reeling, and this one will do even more damage.

There was almost no NBA this year, I believe the NFL was also doubtful (or was it just for the referees?) and now the NHL...what's going on in the Americas????

This NFL season was just the referees, srini, but what has happened is the collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) ran out after their time. Once the time has elapsed, then the owners can lock the players out (which is what happened in the NBA this past season) or go on with the terms of the previous one (which almost never happens as owners feel they aren't making enough).

Update: the first two weeks have been cancelled, but the games are not lost yet.

Story here.

I have a feeling that the lockout will drag out the rest of 2012...now as to in 2013...?

The big date is January 1st, the NHL has millions invested in the Winter Classic to cancel it. They'll make a push. Or at least I'll hope they do. But all the stars are playing in Russia and Europe (Switzerland).

AHL tipping comp? Go Marlies!

Update: another week of games have been canceled, and the league says if a deal isn't reached by Thursday, they cannot play a full 82 game schedule.

Story here.

Looks like it will be a wash this season:

NHL cancels November games
