And around here 1/2 the jersey stores (not jersey shores) are owned by the team anyway. Then the league has the nerve to tell the teams to put all their merch on sale by like 50% this week. Its a cheep ploy to try and buy back fans. Jerks...all of them.
Yeah. That's definitely what bothered me the most. Was the people that make all or a portion of their living working at the stadiums during hockey season to pay pills and shit and all they would get is the odd concert for work and it's bullshit, all so that both parties can argue over millions per person in each party... So no, I am happy they stopped dicking around and got the season started. As much as it would be a theoretical "fuck you" to the teams and owners if there was any sort of boycott or whatnot, yes it would cost them hundreds of thousands if not millions per game per team in sales but who it REALLY hurts is the people that need to be working making minimum wage at those places, not the people with mils in the bank. So yeah.
