You know that's funny because europe seems to have more strikes than in the US for general industry.

I think one factor may be because there is so much talent available worldwide and so much competition (league wise). Premier league locks out fly an hour south and play in spain. Spain locks out another hour to Italy. Lots of options.

NHL locks out you have to move 8 to 12 hours away to Europe where it's a different game and smaller market. If Canada had it's own hockey league and US had it's own hockey league I bet there would have never been a lock out.
