Default how to give the fans a voice!

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.

with social media the message can get out and your not Booing Alfie or Iggy or Crosby you booing the process and disgusting greed and arrogance of both sides.

everyone has a voice and the media as they always do would blow this way up.

It is insignificant because it does nothing. The fans in the arenas have paid their fee and supported next season's revenue pie. So what does it actually accomplish? Sure, people can boo. It will be forgotten within a week.

Hockey is not a religion or a cult. It's a form of entertainment. If you want to send a message then start following the NFL exclusively. Don't buy NHL Center Ice. Move on to another hobby.
