The clock has literally struck midnight on the talks between the NHL and the NHLPA and, as there is no labor agreement, the league has locked the players out and we'll start losing preseason games and regular season games very soon.

At least this gives Coyote fans time to watch a deal with Glendale done right? Or to... I don't know. We don't even know what we'll be doing with our time now. Anyone have any cards? Recipes to share? Something?

We're still brainstorming what kind of content to put up for the few, the proud, the loyal readers of the site, but right now there's not much to report on. We'll keep you updated on how the players do in Portland since guys like Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Andy Miele are there. In addition to the rest of the big Coyotes prospects. Outside of that we should, apparently, be prepared to wait a bit to raise that banner at Jobing.com Arena. Sorry Coyote fans.
