It's day 111 of the NHL lockout! It has been almost 4 months since the NHL had a proper contract. The NHLPA and Gary Bettman have been fighting for certain rights on the contract to get the hockey season started If they can get a contract by January 11, there is a possibility of a 48 game season starting on January 19. Most people don't believe that there will be a season this year so don't get your hopes up.
