The lockout has gone one for months and months, but hockey is finally back! Â NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA director Donald Fehr stood side by side to deliver the great news to fans. Â Don’t get too excited because the details still need to be hammered out and with how long it took to get a verbal agreement it could be a while before they are back on the ice. Â “We still have a lot of work to do,” Bettman said, “but it’s good to be at this point.” Â The two sides met last night for a reported 16 hours arguing about free agency dates and salary caps. Â They are hoping to squeeze in a 50 game season and to resume action January 15th. Â At least the hard part is now over and hopefully everything can be worked out within the 48 hour window. Â We all want the same thing… we all want to see hockey fights again!
