To me, its clear the real fans have "lost interest" but that doesn't mean they wont still pay to see the game or skip watching TV. From this result, my guess is arenas are still going to fill up about how they were last season ..... poor Ducks.
I've been watching the poll numbers move. Its interesting to me to see the top response - "I'm psyched" progressively become the stronger answer. It would indicate people are already warming up. (I'm still in a self-loathing mode. I hate me and you too for letting the NHL treat me this way.)
It's also interesting to me that only 6 voters are really protesting the fan treatment. Last interesting tidbit is the number of those who said they had other interests that now compete with hockey. (including me who is a Niners fan again). After the last CBA Circus, I doubt the vote would have been as evenly split on the top two choices. More would have taken the top choice.

Overthinking. The implication is that even real fans lost some degree of interest this time. Or if you like, just because there is a loss in interest among the "real fans" - the only fans in the universe because they are HF Boarders and can vote on this poll - that shouldn't imply there will be fan dropoff when it comes to the binary decision when the game is in town, to go or not to go ..... that is the questionI would say some "real fans" have lost interest. There are still plenty that will keep the Sharks or NHL hockey as their clear choice for sports entertainment.
Not sure if that's how you intended for it to sound, but I just want clarify that the fans picking the first option are just as much SJS fans as the one picking the other ones. Then again, maybe my reading skills need work

Their reasoning: If they're selling out every night, the tickets are too cheap.
Is that reasoning wrong? Economics says it is correct.
Hey at least Bettman said he was sorry
It happens to the dumbest of us.Roger that. Hmm, that's the first time I think anyone has ever said I was over-thinking...on any subject
I am with ya...the only real honorable thing to do is fire him ...there needs to be a new era...Butttman is leaving a very bad taste in the fans mouths..I'll watch the games on TV, but I'm still locking out the NHL from my wallet until Buttman is gone.
I would beg to differ about Bettman. He is merely a mouthpiece for the Owners. He is steered by the Owners that have the ability to influence the majority of the group. Just like Donald Fehr, his job is to give the impression that there is unity amongst the Owners, when there is probably a lot of friction between the Haves and Have Nots. This is what I ultimately believe helps the Owners move more towards the middle, just like the Players had to.
