• NHL Strike: During the 2004-2005 season, the NHL players union was locked out due to disagreements over salary caps and negotiation of payment for the players. As a result the entire season was forfeit and the NHL closed up shop until an agreement was met.

Dr. Cox: Maybe because the NHL is on strike and I'm not getting my fill of toothless men knocking the hell out of each other.
