With no miracle save in sight and a weekend deadline long gone, the NHL made plans for a news conference Tuesday to cancel what little remained of a season already decimated by a lockout.

A public relations executive, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that planning was under way Monday for NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to make the announcement at a news conference in New York.
The Canadian Press, citing an unidentified source, said Bettman will cancel the season at the news conference on Tuesday.
The NHL would become the first major professional league in North America to cancel an entire season because of a labor dispute. This would mark the first time the Stanley Cup was not awarded since a flu epidemic canceled the finals in 1919.

I can remember going to the old Chicago Stadium as a kid with my cousin to watch the Chicago Blackhawks... Hull, Makita, Magnuson..... they never went on strike and they were makin a hell of a lot less than these cry babies.... The owners and players ALL SUCK!!
