last to know!
uhh, where the hell have i been? maybe the nhl lockout has been droning on for so freaking long, i stopped checking to see how things were going. but while i wasn't looking, the league and the players' association finally agreed "in principle" on a new CBA. yippee! it needs to be ratified, but people seem to act as if that was just a formality. game on. well, in october. but game on.

now i can see what hockey is like in a sort of real hockey town! this isn't detroit or edmonton, but it's no LA either (home of dodger fans, who leave games 40 minutes early to avoid traffic).
