NHL Lockout 2012: Prep the ice, drop the puck already

What a difference a day or two makes.

Just as the excitement of positive developments in Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) talks early in the week gave many fuzzy and warm feelings of watching NHL hockey in the near future, the reality of both the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) engaging in some serious fisticuffs hit everyone head on.


The high level of hope reached between Tuesday and Wednesday came crashing down hard and fast over the next two days.

Both sides have reached a point that might have wiped the slate clean and to start over - at least that's what the NHL says.

However, too much has been discussed and to much energy has been invested to throw it all away.

The players are ready to play and the fans are ready to watch.

Owners - get the keys out and remove the padlocks!

The time has come to resurface the ice, or install it if it's still not in, and drop the puck.

It's not too late!
