As a Coyote season ticket holder I can honestly say I don't miss it at all. Life goes on. Anybody out there from "real" hockey hotbeds miss it?

Absolutely missing it here in Philly.

It sucks that we're going to lose a year of Kane and Toews in their absolute prime here.

Baseball playoffs, the height of the football season, and the NBA ready to launch....the NHL had to do something or risk getting buried.

"Risk getting buried"? It's been buried for ages.

i love the canucks but i don't really give a shit. i rarely go to games any more. the seats i want are over $150 and if you get a stinker of a game it's just wasted money.
i play 2-3 times a week. i get my fix. i don't need to watch it.

Definitely missing it in NJ. Devils destroyed the Flyers in the playoffs last year. Remember???

But in all seriousness, yeah I miss it. At least with the NHL I could stay in on weeknights and enjoy a hockey game.

You dick!

All in good fun, dude! But seriously, I'm really hoping for Nov 2nd opening, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Yep!

Fehr and the NHLPA set to respond this afternoon.

Suuuuucks.

I really don't miss it at all.There hasn't been hockey in Toronto for 20 years now anyways

players gave 3 counters today.

bettman rejected all three. looks like the owners don't want to negotiate.

at least the players took a couple days to look it over.

My alternatives are bleak

MLB - boring
NFL - cannot get into at all
MLS - very poor considering the football standard I'm used to
CFL - same as NFL but less skill

Still follow the premier league but because of the time difference makes it difficult.

And follow international rugby but that is rarely shown.

You don't like minor league hockey or Canadian juniors?

SPHL season starts Friday and I am stoked.

fuck hockey

Could care less about the NHL.

NFL, MLB playoffs, and NBA on the way!!!

Only got into hockey properly three years ago, and naturally I went to the premier event.

I'll start checking out the minor and junior with the lockout in the NHL happening.

Still thinking I'd like to go see Dartmouth College hockey sometime. Don't think I'd ever get into the NHL.

Looks like i'll have to watch AHL games....
