The most exciting part of the NHL is seeing which hare-brained scheme Bettman and the idiotic board of governors he has brainwashed will contrive next. 10 years ago I thought it was hell, those days look exciting compared to today. Thank heavens for lower level hockey.
 
For the experience, one must attend the ice...for tactical observation, TV is best. Thank heavens again for CBC.

Yep I am
 
The Wings are amazing, the most consistent quality team of the past 15-20 years. It might not always work out in the postseason, but the overall quality of play is unmatched. The D anchored by Lidstrom is solid without being stifling and boring, and the forward lines are always competent too.

Yeah, my family especially my brother and step-dad are big hockey fans. I miss the days when Bob Probert, beat everybody up though !!!
 
Actually my favorite hockey player is Jermey Roenick. Probably most of that was attributed to Sega Genesis, and how many small bets I won along with the Chicago Blackhawks in NHLPA 93 and a mock championship belt I would proudly get to wear around my waist quite often. I could start my crossover from half ice and score almost at will with him !!!

P.S. Who's your NHL squad ???

I've never been a fan of Roenick. He's a bit of a spoiled fratboy, he has that attitude. That and he really seems to play with heart only when he wants, which is when the heat isn't on. Just look at how he steps up in the playoffs.
 
I don't really have an NHL squad....I haven't played fantasy hockey for maybe 6 or 7 years now.

I guess I like him because he and Hull are the only good american players we've ever had !!!
 
I can see why he would rub some people the wrong way !!!

Hull is funny, good big mouth. He can probably be counted as half Canadian though
 
There are other good American players...it's just that most hockey players aren't as hyped as other athletes.

Well the canadians, are defintely the best at Hockey. I use toget ridiculed pretty bad in Texas, for liking the sport. Of course those rednecks, didn't know walkingor driving your vehicle out on a frozen lake with 16 inches of ice was safe either.

Funny thing, Texas has so many teams (albeit podunk backwoods minor leagues where you or I make more than those players and probably don't play much worse), but most there just don't get it. Stars fans aren't known to be too sharp either.
 
Canada has retained its grasp on the game, although without European contributions to the talent pool, the NHL would be an even bigger joke today, with its bloated number of teams. I wonder if the coming hard economic times along with the stronger Canadian dollar will make those teams kept alive by corporate ticket purchases and tax dollars look even more foolish.
