I like hockey and all, but f*** those guys for constantly having labor disputes.

I really love hockey and will gleefully watch the games. Heck I used to work at a hockey only HD radio station, but I feel oddly underwhelmed by this announcement. I have no idea why. I thought I'd be super pumped when the announcement was made, but I am not.

So when do people think the season will start? I've heard the 15th (for a 50 game season) or the 19th (for a 48 game season).

As a Kings fan, all I can say to the rest of the NHL is, as The Great One would say:
JUST BRING IT!!!!!!!

Well it looks like Justin Schultz won't be breaking any AHL rookie season records, defenseman record, nor get his 120 point season he was on pace to get. I can't wait to see how Edmonton the #3 PP unit will do this year with two more offensive weapons in Yakupov and Schultz, a Ryan Whitney who is finally 100% healthy for the first time in two seasons, Hemsky who is 100% healthy, Taylor Hall who finally fixed his shoulder he injured since he was 16 and been tearing apart the AHL recently, Gagner who may breakout this season, and Ralph Krueger a rookie headcoach who pretty much created Switzerland to be the dark horse spoiler team in every National Tournament and orchestrated the Oilers powerplay of last year.
Seriously we maybe a offensive juggernaut team this season so if we lose well it's better to lose a game 7-6 than 2-1. Also Khabibulin may not play this year so Dubnyk will start more games finally and AHL's Goaltender of the year last year Yannis Danis may be a great backup!

For the Kings, no one left. There ya go. The same team that won the Cup will probably be out there opening night. With that said though, Kopi got hurt is Sweden on Friday night so he'll be out for 2-3 weeks. Our ideal line-up probably looks like this:
Brown-Kopitar-Williams Gagne-Richards-Carter Lewis-Stoll-Penner Nolan-Fraser-King
Doughty-Scuderi Voynov-Mitchell Greene-Martinez
Quick Bernier

Was reading on the season wiki that the Phoenix Coyotes are apparently meant to be the Arizona Coyotes. Will that still be feasible to pull off this season?

Although to be perfectly honest, I don't think the name change will bring more fans in unfortunately. Also, I wonder where the league is with conference re-alignment. The league has got to move Winnipeg to the West at some point soon. Why not try this season and see if it works. Switch out Winnipeg and Columbus or Nashville and Winnipeg and see how that works for now and then next season move Dallas to the Central, move the Avs to the Pacific and place Winnipeg with the other Western Canadian teams and Minnesota.

I could see something like Callahan- Kreider- Nash Hagelin-Richards-Gaborik Pyatt - Stepan-Halpern Rupp- Boyle-Asham Mcdonagh/Girardi Staal/Del-Zotto Stralman/Eminger/Bickel/Gilroy/Mccilrath JT Miller can also be called up this season.

I did hear that if there was a season that Winnipeg would trade spots with ...some other team in the Western Conference so one division isn't as ridiculously lopsided for travel compared to the other 5.
