There hasn't been that much sports news lately, but today there is, THE NHL LOCKOUT IS OVER. Ok, I got a little carried away, let me rephrase that. The NHL union have reached a tentative deal that is going to end the lockout. This means that, to officially end this lockout, the deal just has to be approved by 30 league owners and 740 players, which it will most likely. They had a lot of meetings and one that lasted for 16 hours. Both sides have reached a 10 year deal. This will end a 113 day lockout! Wow, just wow. They plan on having a 50-48 game schedule so far. Gary Bettman had some words to say to the media:
"I want to thank Don Fehr," Bettman said. "We went through a tough period, but it's good to be at this point."
So pretty much, once they all approve the deal, the lockout will be over and hockey will be back. Now that the lockout is over, the Bruins have to start training, which most are already playing in other leagues and will be coming back soon. A lot of damage has been done to this season, including wiping out the Winter Classic and the All Star Game. I think the Bruins are going to be great this year and Tuukka Rask will be good as a starter. Anyways, let's just the games going so that all the fans can watch some hockey. What do you think about this lockout? Are you happy it's finally over? Do you think the Bruins are going to be good? Comment!
