Your Feelings Now With The Lockout Over

[HawkWriter]

My issue is it's too damn late to have a credible season. Part of winning a Stanley Cup is grinding through a very long year...and through it all finding the means to generate your best hockey after baseball season is in full swing.

Should the Hawks manage to pull another one out, just wouldn't be the same as 10'.

In my opinion, while the shortened season is definitely going to change some things up, I think in the end if you win 16 games in the playoffs...then the Stanley Cup is definitely yours and well earned. The Devils don't have an asterisk next to their Stanley Cup. It is a grueling playoff system and the team that prevails is definitely worthy of the Stanley Cup.

I might go to one game on the weekend, but probably not more than that. Bettman needs to go.

He needs to stick to soccer.

Agreed that Bettman is garbage. 3 lockouts in 20 years.. including 1 full season cancellation? It's frigging bull..

Right... like you came up with something better than the whole stick to soccer thing, you've said thousands of times already.

I am with you. I still haven't gain my love for baseball back after the strike so this may take a while.

It's about fucking time. Ready to watch some goddamn hockey. Taking the champs down on opening day.

Sad start by the BlackHawks just on selling tickets... Tix go on sale at 10:05PM Sat night with no public announcement? Scalpers and ticket bots were all over this; and of course now overpriced tickets all over StubHub and broker sites.

I'm supposed to be mad, right?

I can't do it. Spent the whole weekend following Twitter to see if any moves were being made. Watched a few hours of NHL Network's season preview on a division in the East that I couldn't care less about.

I'm still pissed that they took the first half of the season away so that my entire focus was on another late season swoon by the Bears. But I can tell you that I'll get over it right around 2:08 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
