minpind Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Interesting read lol. I don't think he was getting the comments he was looking for. http://www.forbes.co...or-nhl-lockout/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRoBob38 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 haha, well it's true.... though worded a bit harshly. it's not the fans' "fault" that the lockout's happening, but everything he says is accurate. NHL relies on ticket sales for revenue more than any other sport, and the league's attendance increased after the last lockout. so obviously, there's no issue about the NHL being hurt by these work stoppages in the long-term.

Wittgenstein Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Gotta give him props, though. He actually responds to user comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Knows NHL94 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 He's basically just saying that the NHL gets more revenue from ticket sales compared to other leagues and that the first lockout didn't effect ticket sales. So why would the owners/league be afraid to have another lock out? Nothing bad happened last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
