It's Over. It's Finally Over

In the words of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson "FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINALLY"

THE NHL LOCKOUT IS OVER!


The NHL and NHLPA reached a tentative agreement on a new 10 year CBA deal early this morning.  Negotiations started early Saturday and lasted well in the the morning hours of Sunday.  We don't really know any details yet but the most important thing is that this is a 10 year deal and the sport that we all love is finally back.  The season is most likely going to start in January 19th with a game against the Flyers and training camp will most likely start this week.  Buckle up. 

The only thing that can kill your excitement today is looking at the Pens roster.  Mainly the defense.  Oh and the fact that TK is probably going to be on Sid's line this year.  And Paul Martin is still on the team.  Those amnesty buyouts sure look nice right about now.  Whatever.  Hockey is back and it looks like from what we saw on Twitter yesterday we will have a 50 or 52 game season.  If you actually want to know details of this crap go creep Bob McKenzie's twitter.

If you are looking for someone to thank for this lockout ending this is your guy.  Scot Beckenbaugh was the federal mediator that met with the NHL and NHLPA to help get this deal done.  Dude just looks like a winner.  He should also get free beer in ever NHL city for the rest of his life.  

Wonder what the NHL is gonna paint inside the blue lines this time.  Some ideas we got from twitter:
  • The Islanders should just paint Yashin's cap number between the blue lines. - @chasingth3light
  • Sorry We Suck. -@sabrinasinbin
  • Sucker$$$$$$$$$$. - @chrisgunz69
  • Thank You fans. - @Bobbyj1049
  • We Fucked Up. - @mjportash
Can't wait to hear this for the first time

Go Pens.
