They didn't play last year because the owner's locked the players out. The existing collective bargaining agreement expired and they couldn't reach a new one until this week. The owners got a 24% roll-back on salaries, plus a salary cap, plus a ton of others. Finally, the players took something other than a puck in their teeth.
