The fans have been alienated, here is a letter writing series just for you. (Ross Bonander / THW)
Dear Hockey Fan:
I am writing this to you in the hopes that you are still hanging in there. Yes, the NHL and NHLPA may start talking meaningfully soon but it looks like at least part of the NHL season is pretty much gone. It is a tough and bitter pill to swallow that a significant part of the 2012-2013 season could be wiped out or the whole enchilada. This is one that hurts. Everyone feels it right to the core.
By now, you have heard all the excuses and reasons. Some are just plain sick and tired of what is going on. Remember when TSN’s Bob MacKenzie said he could not believe this was happening again? Here we are, right back in the middle of a steaming pile of poo as the other major sports laugh in our faces. Even the NFL has their referees back. This of course has already sparked NHL fan outrage to a level probably not seen since the end of the 2004-05 season was announced. Thanks to social media these days, that is the reality. Everything is amplified.
If you do not think so, just look at the reaction around Twitter. The message is simple.
From John Shannon of Sportsnet:
NFL Lockout of its Officials is now over…Gary….Don…You are now on the Clock!
