Most of you know KK attracts the die-hard type of hockey fan plus the median age is probably higher than most other hockey sites.

I get a fair share of emails on numerous hockey topics ranging from where is ex-NHL player so-and-so to discussing what seems to be the hot topic of the day.

But lately, within the last week, the emails discussing the lockout have stopped, come to a sudden halt and for the future of the game, that can't be a good thing.

Die-hard fans losing interest in the game they love should send a message to those who are attempting to negotiate the next CBA.

I truly believe some of those people will not come back and how can they be blamed, each of us reaches a point where we have had enough and decide to move to other forms of entertainment.

The sad thing about this whole mess is both sides still feel they have to continue to sway those interested by using the media to their advantage.

Radio interviews, email leaks and everything in-between tells me the sides are still not thinking seriously about finding common ground.

Another month of this, I may have to start sending out emails and asking those who used to strike up conversations at KK to say something, anything and I wouldn't be surprised if they told me they are done with the game they once loved.
