08:19 AM ET 10.05 | Is a key sticking point to the lockout now on the table? The salary cap could become a bargaining tool if the union and NHL continue to remain far apart on a new collective bargaining agreement. "As far as the cap goes -- look, everyone says that everything's on the table," Penguins union representative Craig Adams said Thursday. "So far in our proposals we've kept the cap. That's been our choice because we want to play, get a deal for both sides. But everything is negotiable." Pursuit of a hard cap fueled owners to authorize the last NHL lockout, which in January 2005 forced the cancellation of an entire season for the only time in North American major sports history.

Now, there's a voice of reason. Fire the Fehrer! He's depriving you of your livelihood with his heavy handed approach! Get a few more reasonable guys like Craig Adams in there and .... it gets done in a hurry!

Fire the Fehrer!
