Not to be unexpected, the NHL cancelled all preseason games due to the lockout today. With no talks going on, starting a season on time is in jeopardy.
For whatever reason, the league and the players' association have not met in over a week. Their next scheduled meeting is not until Friday. The chances of getting anything done tomorrow are slim to none, which means an on-time start of the 2012-13 season is in jeopardy.
The players have scattered - most are in Europe or Russia playing. Arenas sit cold and empty. Staff don't earn paychecks. Concessions are not being sold. With a struggling economy, this is not helping fix that issue.
Players and owners have both forgotten who gets hurt in this work stoppage. I guess the silver lining is I'm not paying for season tickets anymore. Right now neither side really deserves my money.
