‘The Lockout Song’ is our favorite cynical NHL fan anthem of 2012 (VIDEO)
More and more NHL fans are asking, "What can I do to show these greedy jerks how cheesed off I am about the lockout?" We all know arena boycotts don't work because, well, we all love hockey too much. But what about something we can live without — like, for example, official merchandise?
