I think the beer companies, hockey franchises, and everyone else who makes money off of the fans should make an ad and call it HAHAHAHAH THANKS SUCKERS!
You guys had a year and a half to plan about how to penalize both sides for their kindergarten-level antics. Devoted fans were lost, rabid fans have come crawling back, and the average "entertainment" fan has probably been lost for good. The teams responded to this by lowering ticket prices (for now). You can bet next season there will be a sizeable increase in the overall cost of tickets and concessions.
I'll watch the games (Leafs) but only because I've decided to not spend any additional money to accomodate that choice. If we go to a game this year, it's because I want to see the ACC with ice on the floor, not because I'm overjoyed that hockey came back. Hockey shouldn't have left in the first place.
