canuckelhead70 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 season ticket holders that have already paid for some of their tickets are not going to boycott either am I. Remember it's the players that are crying that 750 of them can not live on a minimum ( $54m cap floor) of $1.62 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterHansen Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'll b*tch and moan as much as the next guy, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, I'll be back on my couch every night watching SportsCentre and NHL Network. Hockey is a passion for most fans, and "boycotting the league" is only going to hurt future product. I'll complain, and attend my therapy sessions, if there is a lockout, but I won't partake in any "boycotting" events. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The players should follow this too if this is just a Gary Bettman power trip. Every European player should sign a 2-year deal with European clubs and show the NHL what a league would look like without the zetterberg, datsyuk, ovechkin, kovy and sedins of the league...

canuckelhead70 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 But can you blame the players when the owners made 3.5 billion for merchandising those players? It's millionaires vs billionaires and it looks like you've sided with the billionaires. The complete thing is bs regardless, because even if both sides win, you can betchyer ass the fans are the ones that ultimately lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 This is the honest answer for 99% of the fans and that is what it is, period. The owners know it, the NHLPA know it. What are you going to do, start folowing curling or european soccer? Won't happen. Nothing wrong with being mad but that doesn't change one's interest in the game.

Salter Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I was just browsing twitter and saw this and I wanted to see what CDC thought! Would anyone consider doing this? https://twitter.com/lockoutprotest This person wants all fans to sit in at parks and arenas on September 15th. Would anyone here go out to rogers arenas, wear your favorite teams colours and do a sit in? P.S. I considered putting this in the lockout thread but it kind of strays away from the topic of that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I would do pretty much anything if it meant preventing a lockout, but at the end of the day fans have zero say in whether or not a work-stoppage will occur. It is unfortunate, but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 What exactly is this showing? Fans care? Bettman and Fehr know that we'll be back one way or another - just look at 04-05 if you don't believe me. The sellout crowds on opening night October 05 show. The increasing ticket prices, which we willingly pay for, show. The record TV view rates show. The best way to protest the NHL? Show up to nothing, even protests. Make Bettman and Fehr believe that all's well in fan-land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vavoom Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Such a protest is in my opinion counter productive. If I were an owner, I would see that as an indication that fans will come back in droves after the lockout. If you cared enough to protest, you would likely come back as a customer anyways after the lockout. What might scare them is to have signed declarations from fans to boycott the NHL in the event of a lockout. Have a column that states the amount of money you spend on NHL games/merchandise and vow to boycott them for X amount of games/seasons. Put a price tag on your fan loyalty and make them realize that they stand to lose it in the event of a lockout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
