I guarantee you no one puts an asterisk next to that championship and there won't be one next to the name of whoever wins the Cup this season. The playoffs will be played in full so there's nothing cheap or watered down about it.
Yes there is. You mean to tell me a team that plays less than half a season deserves to be named a champion in the same breath as teams that go through a full season? Please.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!

You still have to go through all four rounds in the playoffs. More than half a full season will be played. I guarantee you looking back on it years from now no one will care that the regular season was shortened. You win in the playoffs, you earned the Cup just as much as every other champion. Period.

I think NHL sucks shit, but I came in here anyway because of the end of the lockout, and jesus christ this post nearly made me weep. Absolute truth.
It's crazy how few people remember the NFL labor dispute that shortened seasons and they still crowned a Super Bowl champion.
Troy Sports Center? I hope they release training camp dates or something if they hold it there. They might just go back to Traverse City like they usually do though.
Some NHL clubs opened their arenas for players to skate on their own (coaches are not allowed to be on the ice with them). That's not possible at Joe Louis Arena, due to preparations for the Jan. 14-15 press preview for the North American International Auto Show.
That event will force the Red Wings to hold their abbreviated training camp, with no preseason games, at a local rink. That won't start until Saturday at the earliest, perhaps Monday.
Jay if that were true why is it I still hear about well the reds won the division this year but it was a shortened season. so much can change throughout an entire season. Look at teams that start hot and fall off and vice versa. You dont have to agree with me its my own opinion if your going to miss half the season you may as well not play the rest of it.

That's fine. But it makes absolutely no sense to skip a season if it can be helped. It's not fair to the fans and it makes little business sense.

Btw a bunch of the Wings have been skating in Troy. I wonder if they'll have training camp there....
