Oh, and a reminder for those of you with Center Ice on DirecTV/Dish/Cable or with NHL Gamecenter. Remember to cancel otherwise you may be billed for it even with the lockout.

does anyone else remember the parody of "the reason" from the first lockout? i think it was called "season screwed" but i'm not entirely sure. i can't find it anywhere, and it was MUCH better than some taylor swift ****

Don't remember it at all...but, you're right it was probably better than that Taylor Swift one...

Well, now it's officially done damage.

All preseason games through September 30 canceled. Also, all NHL staff get a 20 percent pay cut and a 4-day work week to boot. Not to mention the arena workers, mascots, etc.

I hope Gary Bettman gets Vladimir Konstantinov's limo driver.

The NHL Office should have asked for signing bonuses.... Bob McKenzie unveiled his all signing bonus team the other day on TSN. If you go over there, look for Insider Trading for 9/18.

I'm hesitant to blame Bettman for this personally, whether in the form of jokingly wishing bodily harm on him or otherwise; he works for the owners and he's just doing what they tell him to.

Yeah, I kinda figured I'd be going to hell for that one.

What really chaps my *** is the 20 percent pay cut to staff. Some innocent secretary out in Edmonton now might not be able to pay her rent because the owners/NHLPA/Bettman can't get their act together.

I understood it as the NHL offices in NYC/Toronto were affected by the four day work week and 32 hrs pay. Each individual club is left on their own as to how they will pay (or not pay) their individual staffs. Hence Ottawa laying everyone off, Florida laying (the man under) Stanley C. Panther off, etc.

I meant NHL employees, I didn't really make that clear. I was thinking field secretary or something. Still hurts - NYC is not cheap.
