Well, you guys gave us REAL hockey. You can have the garbage that they call hockey nowadays back....lol and you missed a few important ones. You guys also gave us SCTV, Molson and where would the egg mcmuffin be without that delicious ham?

Oh, and i forgot that you guys also gave us the lumberjack mystique which without the monty python troop would never have given us the lumberjack song!!

Actually I hate to say it but this season is awesome. I hated the whole lock out thing but in the end it has made the season better. Every game means more so the game play is intense. The teams are playing at a different level then usual. The only thing I am hating is no west vs east so my team is not coming to Co. this year. Oh well half season means the hockey package at a discounted price so LOTS and LOTS of hockey being watched in my house, and the beers are not $7 each!

$7?? your beers are cheap!!LOL last time i went, they were $8.50 honestly, i haven't seen one game this year. i played ice hockey as a youngster for 11 years and i love the game. the original game....lol too many rule changes to make the sport more "mainstream" and more corporate money. since they "greztky-fied" the sport, it's just not the same but, it seems that money does that to sports. it seems to find a way to remove the purity of them, it's sad really. i now prefer to go to minor league games. i feel as though i get a better game because there's a lot less money involved, salary wise, and the players have more heart and love for the game. it's not about money to them. just my opinion obviously....LOL

I agree with you about the minor league. There just are not enough televised. I liked that during the lockout the NHL channel filled their lineup with the minor league games. Amazing hockey, the stick work, passing and teamwork is so fun to watch. You just do not see that in the NHL like you should, everybody is always trying to make themselves look better for contract time! I agree the game is not what it used to be but out of all the sports out there Hockey and Football are the only ones I watch.
