Everyone’s memory is still fresh from 2012. Not necessarily with the Montreal Canadiens and how they were fist in the Atlantic Division while P.K. Subban won the Norris. But because that was the year the NHL had another lockout.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the first. Everyone – players, general managers, and owners – lost the 2004/05 season which saw the salary cap come to light in the NHL. Before that was the 1994/95 lockout which had half of the season lost while the NHLPA went on strike two years prior in 1992.
No one wants another lockout, but it seems as if a work freeze is in the mix.
