Hockey this year?

It doesn't look good for an NHL season this year. Thus far, negotiations between the players union and owners for a new collective bargaining agreement have not gone well.

Fear not though. There will at least be a couple of weeks of some of the best hockey seen since the Salt Lake Olympics. The World Cup of Hockey begins on Monday with the top 8 hockey nations in the world competing (Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, and USA). The Canadians and Americans are favoured, but there are probably about 5 teams that have a legitimate chance.
