You'd think they would learn after what happened to their fan base the first time they decided to pull this garbage... but here's how I look at it: The players can always go play for a team in another league, the fans can always go watch another team, but the owners can't go own another team (at least not with the pay they WOULD have in the NHL). So in a fight over money, the "big-wigs" sort of screwed themselves over HOCKEYTOWN TILL I DIE:banana:
I'm dying with withdrawal, worse part of the lockout and not having hockey to watch just about every night, is I'm forced to watch network TV programs (Honey Boo Boo, anyone?), or have apparent (to the wife) free time and have to do some actual work around the house.
Arrrgggghh
