NHL Lockout
Well this sucks for Blackhawks' Fans:
- Unable to figure out a way to divvy up revenue in a sport that produced $3.3 billion last season, the NHL has undergone a lockout.
There were no negotiations between the league and the players' union Saturday and when the clock struck 11 p.m., the current collective bargaining agreement expired and the owners' lockout of players commenced.

"....because we get bored quickly if they suck."
i have a cure for boredom.
the cost, though, may be prohibitive.

We got our season tix in the mail just a few days ago too. Unreal.
Prepare to be bored!
Players are EMPLOYEES, you don't like the pay? Quit, start your own company if you think it's so easy, or STFU and get back to work.
Relax Hockey Fans. Come on out to Rosemont Horizon (Allstate Arena) and cheer on the Chicago Wolves. Home open is October 13th!!!
The Blackhawks stink anyway. They should have kept Byfuglien and traded drunken Kaner for some stars who want to win. He's content with one Cup anyway.
The owners raised the price of tickets and then they want the players to take a pay cut.
Rahm must have talked to them.
die hard hawks fan here. and I'm done. im done with the nhl after this. never thought i would say that. billionaires vs millionaires vs me who can't even afford to go to a game anymore or a baseball game either for that matter with the family.
Those 15 hockey fans in Chicago will be pissed....that's for sure.
LETS GO WOLVES,ICE HOGS,AND THE ECHL TEAM AT DA SEARS CENTER!this will give the hawks the time to think about that number two center they desperately need!
oh no, no cold steel on ice, just a lot of cold beer on ice and golfing--- this one may drag on for a long time....
Go Wolves
Blackhawk Down
I'm poor either way, but I enjoy my sports. Let's get this done quickly and bring another cup home.
Oh poor Barney
my season tickets have over doubled in 3 yrs.....I call it the McDougnahization of the Hawks, ie..... it's all marketing like he did with the cubs......fill the stadium with a mediocre team......the will pay......the fans will attend......they got their 1 Cup victory...... we can wait another 40 plus years, till then go thru the motions ,get a couple decent players and count the money....oh and for the fans......fuck'em were the only hockey team in town..

Once again, it's the un-educated, casual, bandwagon "hockey fan" that thinks he knows it all. This is same douchebag who goes to UC, gets hammered, knows nothing of the game, yells for a fight everytime there is a hit, and gets up and walks in/out during the play. The 300 level at the UC is Wrigley West.
It's not just about the players. It's the owners " locking out" the players over money. Salary caps, revenue sharing and contracts are all being debated. Go to the South Side and become a baseball fan. The Sox are in first. Try that bandwagon.
The owners "built it." Pay up,or shut up.
If there's no hockey, don't they have to close Cananda?
This is a sport with a small fan base to begin with anyway. Going on strike just shrinks that even more. If they didnt play ever again most wouldnt notice anyway.

The Chicago Express (ECHL Team at Sears Center) folded operations after the end of their season (1st and only season).
For your Hockey Fix you have:
Chicago Wolves

Peoria Rivermen

Rockford Ice Hogs

Milwaukee Admirals

ot. but just wanted to give a shout out to our Union for representing at the rally held by the c.t.u. at union park.
_________________________________
from the sun times:
At the rally -- not a celebration, teachers insisted -- red-shirted Chicago educators were joined by union leaders from the Fraternal Order of Police, the Chicago Labor Federation and from a handful of aldermen who side against the mayor with the union.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You can not imagine the magnitude this was for our brothers and sisters of the c.t.u. I even spoke with a few teachers last week who kept commenting on how appreciative they were of the fire dept. and the police dept for giving them support and that when our turn came up, they would be there in their red shirts just to show racoon eyes that we are a city of united unions and we stand together.. thank you f.o.p. you did us proud and ,,,, well, we're up next, so take note , stand tough with the mayor and lets get ready to rummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!

You are an idiot. The 300's are for actual hockey fans who enjoy the game and understand how plays develop.
Your moronic sox comment shows how dumb you really are. A playoff contender still can't sell the dumpy cell out (or whatever you 2005 idiots calli now). Jump on the bandwagon all you want but no one is following. The sox are a boring team to watch and the few real sox fans that exist are inbreds.
The only thing you can say to cubs fans is 2005, good one. Go back to moms basement and feed your cats.

check out the chicago steel in bensenville--- they play at the edge ice arena--- junior "a" team--- good place to bring the little ones and general seating so you can move around--- good hockey at reasonable prices--- first home games are sep 28 and 29....
That sucks, I feel bad for the hundreds of Blackhawks fans.

The Steel Suck....If you want to watch a bunch of benders pretend like they are ready for D1 college skate in circles with cages go to a high school game.
Unless they are playing Waterloo, Green Bay, Lincoln or Omaha I wouldn't waste my time. Go to an Icehogs or Wolves Game

Well, Canaryville ranger, when was the last time you were in the 300 level? As a season ticket holder up there since 98, we have seen it go from the 90's decline, to the abyss of the Mike Smith/Alpo Sohonen regime and pre-lockout purge, to the 5,000 attendance figures, to the resurgence. Do you know what I've seen? Since the 08-09 season, a steady increase of twenty something drunken, bandwagon jumping, clueless people who are at a hockey game because it's trendy. Just like at Wrigley. I liked it better when the place was empty. No hockey ettiquette, no hockey knowledge, no clue whatsoever. The 300 level used to be for true hockey fans. Now it's Wrigley West. Somewhere else for the losers to go and get drunk.
Just don't know how I am going to make it through this fuckin' cold ass winter w/o any Hawks NHL hockey!!!
Wolves games: Pick up some tix and take my boys.
