If that's the case, this might be the first lockout where the PA starts out as the "bad guys" who are clearly "to blame" for there being no hockey. That's a whole different thing than previously.

Not really. The PA launched a player's strike in 1992. And certainly in 2004-05, they were the villains right from the start, even if it was the owners who padlocked the doors.
