I love hockey. Huge Wings fan here. But we get what we deserve. As long as people keep coming back then they will keep doing it to the fans.
You forget that the corporatations with their suites have already paid for their space. When the season does start, even if its next year, they'll be right there giving their suites out to the clients. And clearly people with the means to be season ticket holders, will show up when the doors open because to many of them, its just a place to be seen. Just watch the dolled up women sitting there on the glass, texting through the whole game. The real fans, (like crack addicts trying to score a rock) that we are, can't make it without a hockey fix unless there is a lockout and were forced to. Then we just sit in the corner with the shakes and pray for it to end. And when it does, we always go back like the good little b's.
Bettman only cares about himself and the owner's. The players only care about themselves and their contract, (see Evgeni Malkin already booked to the KHL). All that matters is money. What did you expect?
