Today, one fan looks at a unique way of simulating the hockey season while the NHL continues to deal with a lockout. Video games, anyone?
With the NHL lockout carrying on, 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 Wednesday's Fan Comment of the Day from CBCSports.ca user Netted The Gem:
"How about you take 30 of the best NHL video game players, post their games online to the same season schedule, and add beer commercials. Then see if it attracts a fan base.
It would speak volumes of how indifferent fans are to constant threats of disruption."Want to share your opinion? Tweet me
