NHL Lockout Update 9/24

Well, another weekend passes, and still the lockout has yet to be resolved by the NHL. Both sides are still standing by what they want, and not much progress has been made to reach a solution. While talks continue between the NHL and the NHLPA, it sure seems like this might take a while to resolve the lockout.
All I have been able to think about today is that the Penguins would have their first preseason game scheduled for this evening against the Columbus Blue Jackets. But, as we all know, there will be no hockey until October 3rd at the earliest for the Penguins, when they are scheduled to play the Detroit Red Wings. But, experts expect this lockout to continue well throughout the fall, and could even lead to a cancellation of the season. I typically like to be optimistic in bad situations, but I still have trouble seeing "the light at the end of the tunnel" in this debate. But, all we can do is wait, and hope for the best for this lockout end before they are forced to cancel the season.

While things in the United States continue to happen, Evgeni Malkin is continuing his career in the KHL. In fact, his game is about to wrap up right now. Unfortunately, there is no access to a live stream of the game, so we will have to wait until later to see how well he did today.
