Attention all Fans: we need to be heard when this is all over I suggested at the opening puck drop of the each teams home opener we all rise and Boo for the first 5 min of the game. this would be loud and clear message that Collectively we are mad at both the players and owners. lets face it I love the game I just am really pissed at the people involved in it right now.

what do you think? bet we could with twitter and social media get some sort of thing out there?

The players and owner need to remember who's dollar they are fighting over...


send it out to all your friends

Thanks from Oilers rock 99

You don't remind millionaires and billionaires about whose dollar they are fighting over by booing. You remind them about it by not giving them your money. Booing does nothing.

It would also never happen. The moment a favourite player hits the pics, or a quick goal is scored, the fans will stop booing.

In my opinion, a mass action my fans would be absolutely impossible. As much as I'd like to see it, the healthy teams will still make enough money for the team to be profitable.

If we, as fans, were truly uninterested in hockey and were not going to watch/follow once it resumed, we would not be on a fantasy hockey site. My absolute favorite is when someone chimes in on a lockout related thread and says something like "totally not interested". Really? Do you always read threads that you are not interested in?

actually I belive that it would be significant its the only realistic way to get everyone to participate in and it is very visiable if it happened it would be on the news everywhere. it would be a lead sports story forsure and if i was a sponsor it would send a clear message and you can bet a couple of phone calls to the NHL.

look I have no intrest in further damaging the game I just feel both sides should take notice and this would accomplish just that

It's not realistic at all. You're looking to get about 20,000 fans at 30 cities (many who don't read online stuff) to do a common goal. That's about 600,000 people spread across North America. You have no way to reach all those people, much less get them all to participate.

And as I mentioned earlier, I can't see fans booing for five minutes straight. Think Sens fans will boo alfie? Or Flames fans booing Piggy? Or Wild fans booing Parise and Suter? Not going to happen.

Well, contrary to others... I think this is a great idea.
(And, I too have visualized this in my head previously)

1. We can't just "not go" to the game, if we don't go... others will and the voice won't be heard.

2. We all love hockey, we still support it. We are just mad - and that feeling should be made as vocal as possible.

3. I would totally show up and boo for the first 5 minutes. I'd even bring a sign that says "Booo... to you. I'm here. I love hockey. But today... boooo."


I really think this idea is the best anybody can muster.
It's similar to a good husband-wife fight "I'm mad at you and I still love you. But tonight... you sleep on the couch."

It will affect the players more than the owners, sure. But I (personally) believe the players (and their $5-$10million salaries) are the greedy parties here. You play a game for a living and you want MORE than half of the overall revenue. Poo on you.

Not going to the game or buying merchandise only affects owners.
The players will get their paychecks if the season is under way.
If that's your stance (blaming only the owners)... fine, don't go to the game, don't buy merchandise.

However, if you blame the players too - booing them is just about all you can do to make them feel shame.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO....
(I like it, thumbs up.)

(ps. Only Angus gets to start a thread in Angus' forum... same for Dobber in Dobbers'. Nice and clean. Just post this in Hockey Chat next time.)

I'd much rather see everyone throw locks out on the ice (when no one is on there of course). It would chip the ice and would take a few floods before it would be safe to play, delaying the game just like the lock out delayed the season. The longer the lock out, the larger the locks. Symbology.



Plus, throwing stuff is fun.

Yeah it would hurt their feelings initially but seriously if the CBA is 10 years then 95% of the players who hear the boos would be retired when the next potential work stoppage would take place.
