HOCKEY BLOG
Hopefully this is the last time I am pushed to say this....

But you bitter, angry little former NHL fans can stop. Just stop. I do NOT care that you won't be spending money on the league this year. I don't. None of us happy, rejoicing fans give a flying fuck. ZERO. FUCKS.
As far as I can see, there are two reasons that you wouldn't return to this league and work to fix the damage they caused.
1) You're bitter. You're upset. You need to listen to "Never, Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift on repeat for a few hours, cry until your eyes hurt, AND MOVE ON. Obviously you're still thinking about the league if you feel the need to go in the Ice Hockey group and tell people that you won't be spending money. You sound like a butthurt ex boyfriend. Stop. You look pathetic.

2) You think that even 5% of the fans not returning will bring positive change unto the league. Half of this is right. The less fans that return, the less likely the league is to survive and grow aka change. Bettman and Fehr can't live forever. They will not be around for the rest of eternity. You need to HELP this league grow NOW. The top tier league grows in popularity and profit, the more likely this wonderful sport is to grow around the rest of the country. Sure, it seems like we're telling the NHL "Buttfuck us without lube and we'll ask for more." but what us fans are REALLY saying is "We will not let you ruin this for us. We will help our league for the generations that follow us." You not buying a couple tickets and a shirt here or there isn't gonna change shit. All of my valid points aside, I will wrap up this point with.... IF YOUR MONEY TRULY MATTERED TO THE LEAGUE, THE LOCKOUT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.

Why deny yourself the sport and teams you love(d)? Why? Why spend so much time complaining and whining instead of returning to the bliss that is an NHL game? Sure, you can STILL continue to support your local minor-pro leagues. Just because I attend an Avs game doesn't mean I've left the Cutthroats behind. You can bet your sweet ass I'll still be there to see them play Arizona and Wichita and Rapid City.

But in the end, when you comment in a celebratory thread about how YOU won't spend a penny, you look like a party pooper and a cunt. Yup, you're being a cunt. If you don't care about the NHL anymore, stay out of the thread and comment on the WJC thread or the CHL/AHL/ECHL/EIHL/KHL ETC ETC ETC ETC.
If you think your negative opinion matters to the rest of us who are so happy we cried (at least, I cried) then you are a selfish little cunty cunt.

Have a nice day and go fuck yourself.



To those of you who either are a) excited, b) are respectful of those who choose to be excited, or c) don't care.... I love you all and hope you're all doing well. I just needed to get that rant out. I feel much better now. Better blog coming soon, especially with a week left until I see Reekie!
