With the NHL lockout now in double-digit days, CBCSports.ca wants to help give fans a voice.So until the game we love returns, we'll highlight one fan's take on the lockout each day from the posts we've received on Facebook, Twitter and the comments sections on CBCSports.ca.
Here is Sunday's Fan Comment of the Day from Sean Boyle via Facebook:
"Point your fingers at yourselves. It's the fans fault for agreeing to pay $250 for a jersey, $150 for a ticket, $8 for a dixie cup full of beer, $20 to park, etc. I can't believe you're all whining because you can't throw your money at these guys. Go out and "play" hockey or something, learn guitar, volunteer."
