It worked once because it was tried once.

So...it has a 100% success rate.

If you don't try... it won't work.

Shall I cite the numerous list of boycotts that were attempted and didn't work? Walt Disney World? JCPenney? Target? Rush Limbaugh? The entire "don't buy gas on ____ date, and gas prices will go down" movement that happens every so often? I can go on and on and on. Quit citing the examples that fit what you want to believe while discarding the rest.

Punish them for punishing us.

Congrats, you're going after one (1) side with this. How exactly do you propose punishing the other side at the same time?

I know!

Let's contact all the companies they have endorsement deals with and explain why we are not going to purchase anything made by these companies!!

... I'll go ahead and let you know how that works out for me.

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

It would be a brave new world.

Fascinating to watch.

I think it would be a quick trip back to an original 6 league... or maybe 10-12 teams?

It's time we moved this lock out to a whole new level. The MJL-Aetherial battles have been great but I think they're getting a bit stale and MJL seems to be going through the motions.

Imagine the Ek sources from the 8th District Circuit Court and Gavel-O-Meter as arguments rage.

Here's my only stipulation: it can't drag on.

I want the players to decertify on June 1st, and have a judge rule on every single last detail on that date.

So at midnight on June 2nd, the entire new hockey world is born. No lead up, no contingency plans by the teams. It's just the Wild West at the stroke of midnight.

Imagine how crazy it would be.

Could the Leafs try to sign MacKinnon? Yes, they could.

Could the Leafs try to sign McDavid? Yeah, they could probably do that, too.

Oh, man, it would be fun.

I'm only drinking the top half of every Molson beer I drink.

The best thing all of us can do, incluing Ek, is completely ignore them until they have a deal. No more posts, phone calls to sources, blogs, or anythng like that. That will scare them more than anything. The silence will carry more value than any poll!

What good is it to have a league that makes 3.3 billion that is owned by businesses that lose more than that because we boycott them. A Boycott has worked in this very league. Maybe those other boycotts didn't work before because no one believed? Maybe the gas one didn't work because all the "one" company did was lowered their price but a fraction of a cent and all the lemmings decided there was no way they were going to pay .02 cents more a litre.

frankin idiots.

I'm done...I tried.

You didn't.

Hey - you were that guy in high school who left haft full beers around at parties and at the end of the night bragged about drinking 16 beers.

Wow I had to check my temperature twice before posting this.... I feel like the Fonz trying to say sorry but here it is... a really solid ready from N....N...Nick *Kypreos... on where the PA goes next and the threat of decertification...

We should probably get together for beers - it would save us a lot of money.

Don't worry, I've got you covered:

It’s hard to believe this is the same Fehr who led the MLBPA for 26 years. It’s even harder to believe Fehr wanted to put his legendary labour reputation on the line by taking on a fractured hockey union already enthralled in a multileveled cap system. Where's the upside for him in that?

- kipper

Yeah, don't know how enthralled they are by the salary cap, Nicky.

Straw?

Shotgun. Key in the bottom of the can, stop halfway.

In response to all the nay sayers regarding the boycott theory:

“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”

That's an Einstein quote for those not in the know.
