Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 06/10/2012 (4812 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Twitterverse launched into a frenzy Friday when columnist Gary Lawless invited readers to unload on the NHL and NHL Players’ Association over the lockout, now into Day 22.
Of course, Twitter never sleeps, so if you wish to weigh in, please use the hashtag #wfplockout or send your tweets to @garylawless.
I plan on following the IceCaps and watching pvr’d Jets games. Unlikely there will be agreement between PA and NHL.

I’m sure its been said, the #nhlpa union doesn’t seem very unified when 100+ members are taking jobs overseas!
Jason Wiebe @jay_weebah
I’m discouraged because I have Winter Classic tix. But a deal that benefits Wpg long-term doesn’t come easy.
Dan Heaford @dhfromkw
Give owners larger slice of revenue pie but put some in escrow for office/event staff that suffer every lockout
Jay Boaz @JBo_8
NHL wants players to pay for costly expansion into non-hockey markets. Answers are rev sharing, relocation, and/or compaction.
Terry Lowdon @tlowdon2
True North should donate every cancelled game ice time to minor hockey, so the kids they are disappointing can enjoy it
Dan Rochon @_danielrochon
Fan groups need seat at table. Not just for CBA negotiation but for ongoing connection to each team for a variety of concerns.
Banker by Day @banker_by_day
Would love to see NHL players give up guaranteed contracts..don’t think they understand how great thy have it
Christophe Rodrigue @Christophe9999
Manitobans who can’t access tickets are snickering and saying, “Well if I can’t go to Jets games, nobody can!!”
Dan Heaford @dhfromkw
Taking jobs overseas bothers me, if Canada Post locked out mail carriers they would go start delivering for UPS???
Dave Schulz @DaveTheRegular
Last lockout I was angry & wanted it done, now I care less every day. Screw both sides. I’ll support minor league hockey
FB @Flyer_Bully
The NHL should be looking to use Scabs. I’d rather watch some hockey than no hockey.
Matthew Dahl @wpgmbd
Would the players be better off with no PA? Owners have more $$ than brains.
