David Clarkson is still hopefull that the owners and players can settle the lockout. Clarkson has been playing in Austria during the lockout. "It's been a lot of fun," Clarkson said today. "Team Red Bull treats you very, very well and they're very professional, so it's nice. It's been fun. Last night we played against (Buffalo's_ Myers and (Edmonton's) Sam Gagner and a lot of other guys that are over here (on EC-KAC Klagenfurt) and we lost, but we've got a great group of guys. It's fun when you go somewhere and you get to meet different people."Obviously, I'd like to be in New Jersey playing right now, but there's some things as players we believe in and, hopefully, they can get this sorted out."
