It only took them ALL DAY LONG to review the so-called Memorandum(b) of Understanding today, but at just before 10:30 on this Saturday night, the NHL and NHLPA finally signed off on this shortened form of a collective bargaining agreement, allowing business as usual to return for the league.

Immediately, and finally, teams announced rosters, training camp starting times and their official league schedules. For the Flyers, it also means GM Paul Holmgren can make official what has already essentially been agreed to - the signing of unrestricted free agent Kurtis Foster.

As for the long-awaited shortened schedule, if you saw it on delcotimes.com or in our Saturday print version of the Daily Times, we had the entire schedule Friday night, complete with starting times, though it hadn't been officially released.

After a quick review of the released schedule, we note just two discrepancies from what we had Friday night. The starting times for two games in April are changed. Instead of a 2 p.m. start it'll be 3 p.m. (Eastern time) April 6 out in Winnipeg. And instead of a 7 o'clock start in Buffalo April 13, it'll be a 3 p.m. game then too.

Yes, NBC loves the Flyers. Right now. But if they don't get off to a quick start, those changed afternoon times might be for a local audience only.

Anyway, here once again, is the entire schedule. Yes, all 48 games of it...
