I have defended the NHL to everyone who says “the lockouts killed my interest” I think these are things said by casual fans of hockey who never had true passion for the game, it’s an easy out when someone brings up hockey and a guy wants to sound cool but doesent know much about the game.
However if there is another one I don’t know how much more I could take. I’ve only Watched hockey for 25 years since I was seven and this would the fourth LOckout. Four lockouts and never a cup would be pretty damn tragic.
(And I realize I’m not the only one in this boat, there’s plenty of other sabres,Canucks,leafs fans in this spot if they’ve watched from 94 or earlier on too)
Anyway there is enough issues at stake for their to be one, IMO, nothing worth losing a season over and the guy who brought up The revenue sharing from Seattle had a good point.
Expect to hear lots about it but also expect there to not be one.
However stranger things have happened.
First thing first: I am under the impression it will be from July first, 2020.
Is this right?
Second thing, will there be a lockout? Well, as the players union consistently has been overplaying their hand, they will most likely keeping on doing that... and a lockout will be there.
I don’t think there will be a lockout but expect to hear sooooo much about it because that’s what grabs people’s attention, I’m
Sick of the word lockout let along the actual process of a lockout.
Thats what every intermission is going to be about for awhile Which gives me an excuse to do dishes or something else I hate.
