Saved_by_Jesus Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It seems as though the lockout is going to be standard procedure at the end of any CBA. I know that it won't do much, but I'm going to do whatever I can do personally to not condone this kind of bargaining tactic - I want both the NHL and NHLPA to stop taking the fans for granted and stop assuming that 'we'll be here no matter what'. I'm going to stop supporting the NHL on September 15 (including visiting NHL.com and Canucks.com), and will do so for twice as long as the lockout elapses. I know one person can't do much, but maybe if the parties were actually scared of losing fans, they might negotiate more "efficiently". What do you think? Are you on board? Good idea? Bad idea?

King Heffy Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Won't do much. I'll be watching a lot more WHL games live, and hopefully on TV, and following the NFL more closely. Hopefully we get more CHL games on TV in the event of a lockout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's too hard to give up, it's a great idea but I just can't go without NHL news, discussion and other stuff for that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson`s Flo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Id boycott going to Canuck games since I'm a cheapass but I will still following the NHL and cheer on my team. It's a lockout, not some unethical oppression. There's no need to do something unnessacary because they're trying to figure out a financial system.

rampage Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 How does Bettman still have a job in the NHL. This could be 3 times under his watch that there would be a lockout, and i don't want a repeat of 04-05. I barley made it out alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Just start a fire Bettman petition, let the players know the fans are on their side. Best thing to boycott at this point is NHL 13, that will be their sole revenue if there is a lock out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We should all start following the KHL instead, that'll hurt a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'd love to boycott, but I think it would be impossible for me to ignore the NHL completely once the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogolol Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sorry but I'm going to checking this website probably everyday until Luongo is traded, and if there's a lockout it could take until next "offseason" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Terrible idea. I will never boycott the Canucks. and/or the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayray2112 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Well the players are making how much more and the NHL is worth how much more since he came in? Not to overly defend, I don't like him, but I can easily see how he has a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
