NHL news...

the Federal Mediation,and Conciliation Services have offered their services to both sides to the ongoing NHL lockout... they are the same group that helped the NFL,and NFLPA through their lockout in 2010,but before anybody gets too excited(i am not...),it is non-binding on both sides,and last time(2004-2005),they had a mediator,they still cancelled the season... my opinion:anything may help,but will it help Bettman,and Fehr put down the pitchforks!!!!!!!!
