This is what I expected all along. I'll watch when it comes back, but i'll feel no emotional attachment to these douchebags(both sides), and won't spend a red penny on merchandise or tickets.
True, think about the wait to get Leafs tickets. You think any Leaf fan is going to not pay the deposit and risk going to the end of the line when/if hockey returns?X8oD said:it may be funny, but im sure its goign to be required to retain your season ticket spot.
My dad went half in on season Tickets for the wings in 1992. It was cool going to 20+ home games. 1994 lock out, his partner bought him out, and then requested a refund early into the lockout [november\december]. he lost his spot because he didnt put a deposit down.
True hockey fans who have waited for season ticket spots WONT walk away from this with out gaurenteeing thier spot next season. espeically if they allow you to just subtract a certian amount from the refund and put it down towards a deposit.

BUT, how in the hell does one live in Philly and cheer for the Red Sox?
If your a Philly boy, isnt it Flyers/Phillies/Eagles/Sixers or death?
Enoch said:I'm pretty sure he likes the Phillies and the Sox.
No biggie. Different conferences, almost zero chance of seeing them face off against each other when it counts .
I like the Titans and the Cowboys - same concept - easy to cheer for both and still be a die-hard for both.
shhhhhhhh.WhalerBoy said:but then again, who am i to talk, here in Leafland, and all i want are my Whalers back!
by the way, is it true that the season will be cancelled, to bring in a cap, to bring back the Whalers??????
Some of us might not have a spot to worry about. Some of us might just might not have a team to have season tickets for after the lockout.X8oD said:it may be funny, but im sure its goign to be required to retain your season ticket spot.

WhalerBoy said:Oh, yeah, I was just kidding. Im not a my team or nothing kind of guy, so I never get that one team thing. But it seems any philly fans i know, in any of the big sports, (lets assume here hockey is still a big sport in philly) are always a little maniacal about their guys! Philly and Boston are probably the two places where you see the greatest amount of homers, so to see someone like both, kinda off.

no13matssundin said:Great negotiator? The guy just led 700 people to lose millions of dollars for nothing... whats more, if the league does cancel the season, they lose the millions and will eventually come back under a linkage/cap system, basically making this whole loss of millions completely meaningless.
Great negotiators recognize when theyre beat, and make the best deal. The best deal has come and gone and the players just got screwed by their own PA leadership's greed and, what looks like, pride.
Goodenow is many things, but a great negotiator he is not.
