im probably gonna make lots of people mad when i say this but it is my opinion and i understand where others are coming from but...who cares?! its just a sport...there are so many other things that are more important in life...i understand why people with jobs in the sporting market would be affected but, other then that...it shouldnt matter that much. i would much rather play hockey then watch it...at least ur getting excercise! if u think about it...its just sumthing to entertain urself with...instead of watchng hockey on tv, do sumthing else..spend time with loved ones....study , work...go out...if u look on the brite side...this lockout is giving u extra time to catch up on life
