nhl lockout

Wake up! It's 2013, and we have a lot to catch up on. The Sabres are hitting the ice, and Bills fans have mixed feelings about Doug Marrone. Surprised? We're not.

The NHL Lockout has cost hockey fans, and players, over 400 games, but could it soon be over?

Oh, December. You've managed to sneak up on us again, even after being bombarded with holiday commercials and music all November. Time to prep for Christmas, but first, let's take a quick look back at what you missed.

If there's one thing that sucks about sports, it's lockouts. Lockouts mean no games on TV, no dude time, and a greater chance we'll have to spend time with our women learning how to cook cheese fondue and make potpourri centerpieces. That's why we've been pretty annoyed about this whole NHL lockout.

There's more to the NHL lockout than players versus owners. The economic impact runs much deeper, and now, a major beer company wants to be compensated. Meanwhile, local businesses, like the Pearl Street Grill, which is usually packed before a home Sabres game, continue to suffer without getting a sniff from the NHL.
