Fans Don't Matter

from Stephen Brunt of Sportsnet,

You don't matter, because they know you're not going anywhere. You don't matter, because the last time around, even after missing a full season and finding other ways to use those empty hours, you flocked back in droves.

You have no dog in this fight. There's no relationship between ticket prices and players salaries, nor has there ever been. The owners will continue to charge whatever the market will bear, and not a penny less. Some of you can afford that, some of you can't, and it has always been thus.

You'll get your hockey back soon enough, and you'll be ridiculously grateful to have it in November or December or January or whenever the puck is dropped.

That's something on which both sides quietly agree. And history suggests there's no reason to believe they're wrong.
