Hockey Fan Vents Anger at NHL Lockout

 

Hockey fanatic Doug Stiler has found a creative way to vent his frustration at the current NHL lockout which finished its 123rd day yesterday. Stiler, from Buffalo NY has made car magnets which read: “I need my hockey fix(ed)”.

The successful sale of more than 2,000 magnets since he launched them show that Stiler is not alone in his displeasure. He said: "Here's these two powerful big-money organizations fighting and the fans are left in the dark."

Car magnets have been used across the United States recently to express things such as cancer awareness and patriotism. Stiler said that “I thought why not express my frustrations using a pop culture phenomenon?"

  man oh man  
 
What a great idea more power to that guy.

I can never understand nor do I choose to try so hard why a person being paid thousands of dollars a game if not millions can find a reason to bitch for more money. Even if they sit the bench they rack in crap load of money a game. Man you could pay me half of the lowest persons salary and I will be there every morning 1/2 a hour earlier then the rest fully gun ho and ready to give my 110%

  Why i dont watch sports  
 
Just proves why dedicating to a team and watching sports is ridiculous. Why root for a player/team that isn't playing for the fans? The players play for the money and not the fans, kind of takes the fun out of the sport if you ask me.
