The NHL and the players' association reached an agreement today on a six-year labor deal, ending a lockout that wiped out last season. While the NHL seems to have gotten what it wanted, there is no way to measure the damage done to a sport that already was the least popular of the four major leagues in the United States.
In fact, I'm not sure I would consider it one of the four major leagues any longer. The PGA might have surpassed it this year. It definitely gets more airtime on the major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) than the NHL ever did.
But at least it's over!!
