CFL and the Potential NHL Lockout

Looks like there's a good chance the NHL will lock out the players to start the season. That's got to be good news for the CFL. No television ratings competition from the NHL and probably more importantly no media competition from the NHL either. Sure the media can talk about a settlement during a lockout, but after a while with nothing new to report the audience starts to become bored of talks or no talks leading TSN's sports centre every night. The lockout could easily continue to after the Grey Cup so the league should be able to get more value out of the 100th anniversary of the Grey Cup as well. Thanks Gary.
