The owners want to reduce the players' share of hockey-related revenue by nearly a quarter, from 57 percent of revenue to 43 percent.<br /><br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NMAtv<br />Webpage: http://www.nma.tv/<br />Twitter @nmatv: https://twitter.com/#!/nmatv<br />Tumblr: http://nmatv.tumblr.com/<br /><br />As with last year's NBA lockout, the NHL lockout is happening because certain owners can't control their spending and want the players to bail them out.<br /><br />During the last NHL lockout, the entire 2004-2005 season was cancelled. The lockout ended when the players agreed to what amounted to a 24 percent pay cut. Revenue since the 2004-2005 NHL lockout has increased nearly 60%, from $2.1 billion to $3.3 billion. And now hockey's fat cat owners want even more.
