Dave Stubbs of the Gazette breaks down the shocking news from today that the NHLPA is not a certified union by the Quebec labour board, and due to this, the Canadiens might not be able to lock out the players employed by the team.
All this seems to mean thus far is that the Canadiens players should get their full salaries in the event of a lockout. However fans are already speculating at the idea of intrasquad exhibition games or friendlies against teams from other leagues.
In any case, after weeks of boredom in regards to the CBA negotiations, things just got a little interesting.
