NHL Lockout

Here we go again!  The NHL locked out it's players at midnight Saturday, becoming the third major sports league to impose a work stoppage in the last 18 months.  The action also marks the fourth shutdown for the NHL since 1992 including a year-long dispute that forced the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season when the league held out for a salary cap.  The main issue is money - how to split $3.3 billion in revenue.  The sides were so far apart in their discussions that they didn't meet face-to-face for negotiations on Saturday.
