(* Players aren't on strike. It's a lockout. Pretty sure most soldiers make more than $20,000 per year. Maybe just in salary, but they don't pay for housing, insurance, etc.--a bit misleading.)

We’re less than two weeks away from the opening day of the 2012-13 NHL season, which can only mean one thing — the players are locked out. For the third time in 18 months (yes, we have a lockout hat trick), a major sport’s team owners have shut the door on their players in the hopes of scaling back player salaries. This is all depressingly familiar for NHL fans, who have now suffered through four lockouts and 1,698 missed games since 1992. By comparison, Major League Baseball has missed 938 games because of work stoppages since 1992; the NBA has missed 504; and the NFL has missed none, though their referees missed a doozy of a game last Monday night. It’s time to take a closer look at what the NHL lockout is all about and when we might see it come to an end. Here are some key questions and answers that will help guide you through Lockout: Part III.

I've always been a fan of hockey, but since marrying my wife (who is a mega hockey fan) I've followed much more closely, although this lockout is pissing me off more than 2004 (or whenever the hell the last strike/lockout was). I don't care who's to blame at this point but all these greedy pricks are at fault IMO.

Couldn't have cared less about the lockout yesterday.
Today, I feel they need to get this settled. Help end my sports gloom.

For my sports sanity, I really really really really really want the lockout to end. Like, today. The NFL doesn't do much for me. The NBA does nothing for me. I need the Blues.

Islanders are moving to Brooklyn in 2015 so it should be settled by then.
