Well tomorrow is September 15th and there is no agreement in place between the NHL and the NHLPA. So tomorrow at 11:59pm the owners will lockout the players for the 3rd time in Gary Bettman's 18 year tenure. Gee whodathunkit?  But in case you haven't been following along with the CBA negotiations here is a Top Ten list to help explain it:

10. (TOS) When the Enterprise crew beams down to the planet to fight the alien and the always red-shirted crew member (NHL Season) gets sacrificed.

9. Cause and Effect Star Trek TNG - When the enterprise encounters a rift in the time-space continuum and they realize they are doomed to keep repeating recent history.

8.TOS When McCoy (Fehr) starts calling Spock(Bettman) a pointy-eared-green-blooded-hobgoblin and wondering if he has compassion/mercy or any feelings at all.

7.TNG - When Picard (Fehr) is stuck on the foreign planet and the alien (Bettman) only communicates in allegories and no one can figure out what he is saying.

6.Enterprise -Last Episode of Season 4. Basically everyone including the fans start to realize their is nothing they can do to keep the next season from being cancelled.

5.TOS - The Squire of Gothos - Where Kirk realizes the crew (players)are just play things for Trelane (Bettman/Owners) who is a lot more powerful than he realizes.
