TBH, the main reason why I don't think the lockout is gonna last a whole season is because of the economics compared to the 2004 lockout.

THe last lockout was about the health of the league and it needed a whole new structure. The owners wanted it but the players refused and fans stood by the owners during this lockout and accepted a lost season for the long term benefit of the league.

This lockout is all about egos wanting a bigger share of the 3.3 billion dollar revenue pie. If we happen to lose a season because of that...I'm done with the NHL.

I can't support a league that values money over the game itelf.
