So what exactly happens if there is in fact a lock out?

So what exactly happens if there is in fact a lock out?

We all hold our useless WC tix in our hands and weep openly and inconsolably.

[chances14 227]

wouldn't it be something if there is a partial lockout and the winter classic is the opening game of the season?

No. I want 82 games.

Well then, if we're throwing around fantasies, I want 5 mintues alone with Kate Upton.

Lockout = Alumni game (including Yzerman) plus selected current players (Dats, Kronner, Jimmy, Z) at the Big House playing with generic sweaters. Maybe the old Detroit Falcons aren't under NHL trademark anymore.

Is this even legally possible?

just logged into to my account and noticed that there is now a link to the alumni game when i clicked on the buy tickets link, but when i click on it, it says no events scheduled.

so perhaps they are close to releasing alumni tickets?

Now, if you go to "buy tickets", it tells you that you'll be able to buy 2 alumni game ticket packages for every seat you have for WC/GLI. It's still blank when you click the link for the game. But the description says that we can purchase them before public sale.

i noticed that too. considering that it says "ticket packages" i'm guessing that they are going to force you to buy AHL/OHL tickets with it

wondering when we will be able to buy? Didn't the email from Friday say deadline to enter the 22?

yes but the drawing doesn't take place until august 26.

all i have been able to find is that tickets will be avaliable in mid august. i'm assuming that's for season ticket holders.

Spacing it out a little is fine by me(if I'm lucky enough) as the it's a lot of cash for me to go to both. Have my fingers crossed. Although for me if I can purchase and it is attached to another game I really want it to the Griffs game. Not intererested at all in the OHL game.

From New York Times:

The N.H.L. can cancel the Jan. 1 Winter Classic at 115,000-seat Michigan Stadium as late as Jan. 1, the day of the game, because of a work stoppage “arising from the lack of a collective bargaining agreement,” the

contract between the league and the University of Michigan shows

From New York Times:

not surprised that the nhl put that in there

i wouldn't be shocked if the winter classic turns out to be the 1st game of the nhl regular season, ala like the nba did with their christmas day games last year

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

NBC already thinks the season starts with the new year.

[rrasco 1,312]

The article I saw earlier mentioned something about even cancelling without refunds...

If there is a lockout, I cry...

[vladdy16 2,154]

Well, I hit the Toronto lottery as well. Unfortunately, I need to be a legal Ontario resident to purchase the tickets. Anyone living in Ontario, PM me ASAP if you want the account info. My window is Tuesday 10am to Wednesday at 5pm.

Has anyone received any word on the Alumni game drawing to purchase tix?/

Just received my account number to purchase for the Alumni game today

[ToledoWingsFan 8]

Has anyone that was able to buy the Winter Classic/GLI ticket packages, via being selected through email, been able to buy Alumni tickets yet?

[Zata fan 40 6]

Yeah, hope to recieve something soon.
