NHL's 82-day lockout is the third lockout for the NHL in the past 20 years. It all started when owners wanted to reduce the player's share of hockey-related revenue by 12 percent.

Earlier this week, representatives from the NHLPA decided to sit down with the league in order to come up with an agreement. After three days of negotiations, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr received a proposal he assumed would end the lockout.

Fehr confidently took the podium in front of eager fans and media to announce he was optimistic about the proposal believing that they had reached a "complete agreement" on actual dollars. While he was addressing the crowd, his brother, NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr, got a call saying the deal was rejected causing Donald Fehr to eat his words moments of the announcement.

There were no further plans for negotiations putting the 2012-2013 NHL season in danger of being cancelled.

This is easily the best thing to come out of the lockout.

Where do we begin? A year ago, these NHL owners and players wouldn't dare lockout any of you, I mean what happened, did their money just disappear? See, a guy like me... look, I know why the NHL and NHLPA like to have these little "group therapy sessions" without addressing the media. I know why they're afraid to tell the public about it. The Bettman. See, the Bettman shown us the NHL's true colors, unfortunately. And Fehr, he's just the beginning. The answer's simple. We kill the Bettman.

who do you pull for in the AHL? i'm in a tough spot myself; i'm an islanders fan since birth, but i go to school in hartford and have fallen in love with the idea of pro hockey in hartford.

[GuyFromCoby]

Oh I agree, and I do watch the juniors (OHL and AHL too).

[gaudysideofcampus]

oh come off it. give the world junior classic a watch if you think the golden age of hockey is gone, never to return; did you see that nugent-hopkins goal in CAN/SVK? or either of strome's goals? bettman sucks but he sucks because he's a godawful comissh, not because he's an american.

[gaudysideofcampus]

nah, actually he's just a fuckhead.

[Ken Hidaka]

The NHL better not cancel the rest of this season or next, or hockey fans will be in a deep, deep, state of hurt for a long,long time. The NHL lockout was a huge mistake and it never should've happened at all. I have NOT shown any patience during the NHL lockout at all.

I hope the NHL loses a shitload of money from this so they can finally realize that lockouts every 7 years is bad for the league.
