Grapefruits Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Actually. Fans at least don't show them and run back right away first game. Wait and go to another game, if they see a sellout first game back, owners will actually be laughing at how much power they have over the fans.

Pouria Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Vancouver Canucks@VanCanucks In the middle of media availability and hectic hallways, we've just been told tickets will be on-sale Tuesday, January 15th at 2:00PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's pretty much a guarantee that games will continue to sell out while the owners and players laugh at what they can pull on the fans. Ticket and concession prices will continue to rise as well. Until the fans wake up and take some sort of stand, these things will continue to happen. I predict that we will see another lockout in 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouria Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I hope they don't sell out tickets, because it only shows how fickle the fans are... but they probably will. The fans are in the back pocket of the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Actually its in another 10 years since they just extended the CBA expiration date. Under Buttman, whenever the CBA expires, its a guaranteed lockout. The geniuses running the NHL don't have the brains to start the negotiations earlier before the CBA expires.

cmpunk Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 FANS DON'T BUY TICKETS FOR GAME 1 AT LEAST. WATCH AT HOME ALLYOU WANT OR GO TO A BAR OR RESTURANT AND HELP THEM OUT. \AFTER THAT, GO TO ANY GAME, ITS ONLY THE DUCKS 1ST GAME. FANS NEED TO SHOW THEIR SIDE AND STAND TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST OPENING NIGHT. THEY SEE A SELLOUT FIRST GAME, THEY ARE JUST GOING TO SIT BACK AND LITERALLY LAUGH.

nuckin_futz Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It just shows how weak minded the fans are. NHL is like the abusive husband and the fans are like the wife that gets beat and keeps coming back for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNeil Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wow, just checking out the ticket sales. Looks like the Duck game is sold out Oilers down to nosebleed singles, Flames down to no drinking seats. That boycott worked well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It just shows how weak minded the fans are. NHL is like the abusive husband and the fans are like the wife that gets beat and keeps coming back for more. I take offense to this statement. Not to get into a big deal about it, but abusive wives feel trapped and terrified at times...they've been subjected to brainwashing and mental terror that prevents them from leaving. It's not weakness...it actually takes strength to wait it out until the right moment to flee presents itself. Comparing domestic violence cases to hockey lockouts is inappopriate. And people get enjoyment out of hockey....if you're serious about this statement, why are you here? The people making a firm stand but sticking around to talk about it are no better. They should be moving on and away from hockey by now in making their stand. But to talk the talk without walking discredits the whole deal. We're here because we want to be - hockey is something we enjoy and the lockout wasn't a move to punish us in any way....it's simply part of doing business.

Merci Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 ^^^^^ This analogy is spot on. NHL and PA to the fans. .... "I'm sorry baby, I don't know what came over me, please don't leave. I'll go to counseling. I can change." Fans ...... "I don't know, you really hurt me this time." ......... "OK we can try again". NHL/PA to Fans "SMACK" .......... "See you brought that sh** on yourself. Now get me a beer". And yes, I do know it isn't cool to poke fun at domestic abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This wasn't about the fans during the lockout and it isn't about the fans after. Do you take it personally when other places have lockouts or do you understand that negotiating contracts can lead down this path when the two sides can't find middle ground? Sure, the fans can have an impact but hockey is secured now for some time...it just seems like a futile effort to me. People are treating the NHL like they've been stood up and it's personal - it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
