There is going to be a 2005-06 NHL season. Or thats what the owners are saying at this point. Yes, they plan to have a season. Puck will be dropped.
That is even if a CBA (collective bargining agreement if you forgot) is not reached. Of course this would mean they would use replacement players. Hopefully, not including Keenu Reeves.
So, in stead of JR, Gags, Brash, and Silent bob at they WATCH OVER YOU center next season you could see Peter White, Joe Foligno, some dude that works at the skate zone, the guy that waited on you at P J Whelians, and NHL players who could give a hoot about hard caps.
I mean there might be some AHL players showing up.
My question to my two readers is would you even watch if you didn't have a clue who half the team was? Also I would really like to hear from soon-to-be lawyer Drew about how legal this actually is and what moves the NHL PA would take to rain on the owners parade if they go through with this threat.

I would check in on it but I would not watch it regularly. But this ploy would not be permanent, many players have already said that they would cross the picket line and play as scabs. There would be a few players who never came back but for the most part eventually all the players would come back and play.
Also did you hear about some Wall Street firm offered $3.2 billion to buy the entire NHL? I think that this could be a good thing, becuase it could not get any worse. They would probably get rid of a lot of teams and run the league a lot better than Bettman and gang.

No I didn't hear that. It would be cool, and put ex-players in the postion of power. Thats what I like about the potential WHA.
I don't know if you heard that the Mighty Ducks of Anehiem (I know its not spelled right) were sold be Disney. The first thing I would do if I was the new owner would change the freaking name.
That team was the start of the downfall of the NHL I loved.
