Today everyone and his brother has heard from someone, spoken to a source or read it on the internet as to when the NHL will return to action, action o the ice.

December, January 2013, October 2013 and even October 2014 are some of the dates being tossed around.

I don't buy any of it, when it happens it happens but what I do know is sooner than later, no one will be talking about the NHL. Even die-hard fans are getting more and more upset with this lockout that never should have happened.

Bettman and Fehr, the future of the NHL is on your shoulders and truthfully, I don't feel good about that.
