NHL canceled hockey games

We all new this was coming. If you're surprised that the NHL is crossing off days from the calendar then you haven't been paying attention. Here's the official statement (not that it matters):

The National Hockey League announced today the cancellation of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule through October 24. A total of 82 regular-season games were scheduled for Oct. 11 through Oct. 24.

The cancellation was necessary because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL.

No. No, NHL. It wasn't necessary. It happened because you all suck.

Bruins had six games scheduled in October, three being at home. BostonBruins.com already updated their October schedule to reflect the changes so here's the original from Yahoo! Sports.
