Will the NHL be saved?
Hey pens fans,
I do not agree with or believe that what the following rumor says is true, but I have heard it in enough places to feel the need to pass it on. Some agents and players and saying that the NHL will never be save and that the players or at least most of them have no problem starting their own league. I do not think it will come to that at this point, but the possibility is out there.

Price goes Up and league to meet with PA
Hey pens fans,
Apparently the offer to buy the league is still out there and the price has increased but i am not sure how much. There a enough owners that will never sell, so this will not happen. I think they are just trying to make a point that maybe they are not worth as much as they thought. The league is expected to ask the players association to meet early this coming week. I will try to let you know what happens.

Unrest in the ranks
Hey pens fans,
Nothing much new, but ther is one thing. At the NHLPA meeting many of the players openly expressed their discontent. It is rumored that is may have led to shouting. They want to know why they are not playing. That's what we all want to know right? If they don't know then who does?

Owner Rumor
Hey pens fans,
Latest Rumor is that a group of owners from some big teams had a private conference call to get ready for the board of governors meeting. It is thought that they were to get ready so they can remind Bettman who he is reprensenting and what they actually want. The owners are a whole are not pleased. I'll try to keep you posted.

No Hockey do now what do we do?
Hey pens fans,
There is still no news on the lockout and I am not sure when there will be. So what do we do to fill the void left by there being no hockey to watch? If you need a hockey fix, why not check out an AHL, ECHL, or college team? Maybe find another sport to watch, but its just not the same and nothing can replace hockey to the truely loyal fans. Perhaps take up reading books on hockey or any book, though it is still not the same. I have yet to find anything to replace hockey in my life. Imiss it, but I am filling the time. I am filling some of it with this blog and more with other things like books and music, but how long will it be until the fans replace NHL hockey entirely? The longer it takes to reach an agreement the harder it will be to keep the fans. Great hockey towns like Toronto, Montreal, and Boston will be fine, but the smaller markets where hockey is not the premire sport will suffer. Will Pittsburgh retain its fans? I know they will have at least one and that is me. At times I am even losing faith in the league. Who else thinks the league and the players' association need to pay more attention to the fans? I know they are the professionals, but we love the game too. Maybe some of our ideas aren't so bad? They obviously haven't come up with anything stellar. They need to try something new or just hammer it out, but I feel they are almost at the point of no return. Please send me your comments.
