I think it's going to come to that. If the season is cancelled (as it almost certainly will), the owners are going to restock their teams with replacement players. By the time training camp opens in September, I think a lot of the pro players will just suck it up and come back under the new rules.

For all the talk about "unions" and "scabs", the NHL players apparently had no problem taking minor league jobs away from other players this year.

I am a Capitals fan. I thought that Leonsis, their owners, already traded all of are stars for replacement players last year?

It really bugs me to see people come on here an kick a dog when it is down. I realize that hockey is a niche sport, but I think that we would get better respect if the people who were not interested would just shut up. Nobody ever asks me if I like NASCAR, or baseball (which I hate), WNBA, NBA, WUSA, or whatever. Most people who critize hockey have never watched a game or been to a game. Did you know that I can get $10 tickets to Caps games? $80 will get me 4 tickets, 4 sodas, 4 hot dogs, 4 bags of chips, and four hats. $80 will get me one NFL ticket in the nosebleeds.
