We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey.”—Flyers forward Jeremy Roenick, responding to fans who blamed the players for the lockout"I might jump over the table and choke him to death.
Here’s a quick look at some of the most notable facts from before and after the lockout, and at a few of the more memorable statements from the league’s second great showdown.“Bottom line, if they want a hard cap, we’ll sit out the rest of our lives.”—Maple Leafs defenseman and NHLPA rep Bryan McCabe"They're comfortable, they're presumptuous, they know they're going to play and they don't have to fight for the position.” — Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs, commenting on the greed of the players“It’s asinine and it’s both sides.”—Flames defenseman Andrew Ference on the continuing impasse.

A more reasonable assumption for why some owners, if not many, will be fine with a few weeks (I'm being optimistic) without hockey is they can, theoretically, fill their stadiums with other things. The 30 regular season games that had been lost to the strike were rescheduled, allowing the full season and playoffs to be completed.The players won more control of marketing rights (the use of their pictures on posters, trading cards, and so on), and their share of playoff revenue was increased from $3.2 million to $7.5 million. The people that were there were very passionate about it, and we all had fun. The two main issues separating the two sides are the players' share of what's called hockey-related revenue (HRR) and player salaries.

That will no longer be the case. [...] It's not a stretch to paint the current contract talks as a contest between two competing historical currents: the rabble-rousing labour crusading of the post-war period and the Ronald Reagan-inspired movement to rewrite labour laws in favour of employers.Maybe.

This issue was the cost of player salaries.Prior to the lockout, teams spent roughly 76% of their or their revenues on player salaries, far higher than all other major North American leagues. The NHLPA has not forgotten us. Payroll disparities among teams also decreased. Some are mad as hell, won't take it anymore, but Even more disheartening, efforts to organize similar protests in Montreal, Boston, and Tampa Bay didn't appear to amount to anything.

(One wonders at this juncture, if our loss is going to be Russia's gain, following from Gordon's Rand-ian ownership theory, surely the league would be even more inclined to strike a deal with the players, lest they fall into anti-Objectivist Russian hands? "I didn't expect that we would have thousands and thousands of people, but I definitely had more RSVPs than people that showed.
