Personally I don't think the owners want scabs, they want the real thing but at salaries where they can make money. The big bone of contention is a salary cap, which is what has allowed the NFL to do so well. Even baseball with it's out of sight salaries has a cap, break the cap and you pay a fine. Some owners make enough to be able to afford the fines (Yanks, Red Sox for example). Hockey however doesn't have a big TV contract like the NBA for example so money is tight but the players want to earn the same as the other 3 big time sports. Unfortunately the finanacial facts just don't add up - thus the lockout.

"why not SCABS??????????????"
they cant fill the arena's as it was. Scabs are not the awnser. The awnser is these foreign phucks like Chris Pronger should play for $500k a year or get the phuck out of the country. Nobody in hockey should make more than 1 million a year period. Hockey players are pussies. Stick a gun to their head and they will start crying. Hell half the NBA and NFL players carry guns.

Any thoughts from your perspective as to when hockey will be back? Also, do you have an opinion as to whether the net will be widened. Most people I have spoken to believe that widening the net would save the sport. More scoring = more fan interest. I wonder if they will ever consider it?
