    Oh MLB is an easy #2 with the owners collusion in the 80's and the resulting strike in 1994, but the NHL still takes #1 with all the lockouts.

      NFL reminds you that it focuses on alienating its players instead.

        That's gotta be the biggest thing but it's hilarious to see people talk about scoring being a problem and then the league literally does nothing about it. And it wouldn't take much either, they could just call the rule book like they did in 2007.

        The other thing is how poorly the league is marketed. I remember when they held a focus group to try and figure out how they were gonna sell the lockout to people and make the players look bad. The focus group had basically all white people and like a single woman there. I wouldn't doubt that's basically who all their marketing in general is directed towards and yet they can't seem to figure out how to grow the sport's popularity.

          What's funny is the head of marketing for the NHL is a buddy of mine from NYC. Not sure he was in charge during the lockout though.

            Ah that's really interesting! It'd be cool to hear some of his insights.

              We need Tony X (of viral Twitter user discovers playoff hockey, IT'S LIT) to be in charge of marketing. Easy.

                Mantha, Frk, and Larkin with a combined 3-3-6 line tonight. Hey, maybe the "kids" are alright.

                  That FML line is pretty good!

                        Wow - hoped for a win but didn't see this coming.

                        Welcome home Brandon Saad.


                        Found out yesterday that our new cable provider doesn't offer Center Ice.

                        Was peeved coz the sales person said they did and even made a show of calling "someone" to confirm it.

                        Got a Roku though and it worked really slick and the picture was penomenal.
