I think it's a matter of we locked you out before, you caved, so we're doing it again.
Nasty and I don't think it works this time personally.
Remember this little exchange?
Neo - You won't let it happen, you can't. You need human beings to survive.
The Architect - There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.
The owners can survive a lockout. Very likely the vast majority of players cannot. Most people are not mature enough to think about retirement until they are at an age where, in the NHL, you are pretty much on your last contract.
