Yep, it's a lockout

I mean these look more like baseball stadium seats, but you get the idea...

So it’s happened.

Work stoppage No. 4 for the NHL, I’m ultimately disappointed that there’s no guarantee of hockey this season in the major leagues…guess I’ll be watching a lot of football…While there’s still time to get a new CBA completed before regular season games are lost, the NHL just lost all the credibility it worked to regain over the last seven seasons. All the passive hockey fans will soon forget that they even watched the games on NBC and VERSUS, and continue watching other sports. I hope the owners realize what they’ve done soon enough.

I didn’t even realize there was a 10-day lockout back in 1992 until recently doing some research. It was right as the regular season was coming to a close. Wonder what the fans were thinking then, I can hear their voices call out from 20 years ago: “Oh no! What if the playoffs get cancelled?” They had no idea what would happen in this new millennium…an entire season cancelled, and another on the verge of the same misfortune. Fans used to not worry about this kind of problem, they focused on whether your team would make the playoffs or not, rather than worrying if the season would start on time.

So for now, rest in peace NHL…Looking forward to the 2013-14 season!
