So the NHL lockout has
FINALLY ended as both the NHL and the union have reached a tentative agreement this morning. However, the damage to the 2012-2013 season has already been done. Starting from September 15th of 2012 to January 6th of 2013 (113 days), the NHL has cancelled a total of 625 games through January 14th, 2013. This includes the Winter Classic at the Big House in Ann Arbor on January 1st and the 2013 All-Star Game. So what went on during this time span? Well...
