Battle of California - Kings, Sharks, and Ducks

Not everyone is absolutely thrilled that the NHL is back. Some of us just aren't able to muster up the same kind of enthusiasm as others.

Now that there's a new NHL CBA, it's time for the players to come back.

While the NHL and the NHLPA keep going around and around, fans are wondering if there's a point.

Colin Greening's the latest Ottawa Senators player to sign a deal in Europe for the duration of the lockout.
