    Well the lockout took longer than anybody expected. Because of this wait, did the NHL lost you as a fan?

    The lost me the first strike/lockout. There's 3 parties to a sports labor dispute: players, management, and the fans. The NHL has basically dissed us fans two too many times, IMO.

    They haven't lost me, (yet) anyway. I will admit, I use to break my neck to rush home and see the game, not anymore though,it's just not worth it.

    I agree with Denny, they lost me during the lockout where they missed most of the season. This one was also bad.

    I will watch major games, but not follow as closely as I used to.

    Well, I will only be supporting my home team, but I probably won't look at other teams

    I guess there are probably people out there that watch tonnes of games, not just their team. I don't know anyone like that and living where I live I probably should. It just doesn't seem to be the case.
