Not everyone is absolutely thrilled that the NHL is back. Some of us just aren't able to muster up the same kind of enthusiasm as others.

Now that there's a new NHL CBA, it's time for the players to come back.

It's done. Over. A marathon negotiating session led to a 5 AM EST agreement that will end the NHL lockout.

Three months in to the lockout. Six months since hockey ended. And where are we? Still waiting.

So You Just Bought an NHL Team

Two more Ottawa Senators have signed in Europe for the lockout: Zack Smith will play for the Frederikshavn White Hawks of Denmark's AL-Bank Ligaen, while Mike Lundin joins Almtuna IS of HockeyAllsvenskan.

While the NHL and the NHLPA keep going around and around, fans are wondering if there's a point.

Colin Greening's the latest Ottawa Senators player to sign a deal in Europe for the duration of the lockout.

The NHL officially cancelled games from October 24th to November 1st. Bruins games cancelled: Thu, Oct 25 vs Anaheim - Teemu('s last game?) at the Gahden Sat, Oct 27 vs NY Islanders - I dunno....
