Posted September 16, 200420 yr Does anyone notice? I gave up paying attention to the NHL a long time ago, but I still care for the Panthers a bit. I want this to end soon, but for only THEIR sake. BTW, the players don't know the impact of their stubbornness.
September 16, 200420 yr I like watching sports where over the half the players aren't from Canada or Russia.
September 16, 200420 yr Never really cared for hockey. It's probably best if the Panthers get contracted and about 11 other teams get contracted. The league is too diluted and the teams can't support the ginormous salaries.

I care and I am extremely pissed at the players for being overgreedy, and the owners opening that door up for them.

You've just gotten used to the mediocrity of the league. When Gretzky and Messier were in their hey-day with the Oilers there were less teams and people looked at 200 point seasons as a great acheivement. Nowadays, 100 points is the big thing. I mean, c'mon, the top goal scorer now scores about 55-60 goals a year whereas Gretzky was knocking in 90 goals in a year. Granted, Gretzky is arguably the greatest of all time but in other sports the greatest never had such a huge gap between them, their contemporaries, and the future generations.

If Darcy Hordichuk played in the 40s, he'd score about 300 goals and notch 500 assists. Don't try arguing with me about hockey, you have already lost.
September 17, 200420 yr Def a change in the game. The trap style of play is what is slowing the game down, thus less goals. Plus there are too many teams, only allowing each team to have one really solid line. If every team played like the Red Wings, hockey would be great! (yes, I'm a homer)

(yes, I'm a homer) 561545[/snapback] I think a better one would be the Avalanche. High-flying offense, good defense, solid goaltending. (I know this hurts a Red Wings fan a lot). Or the Thrashers. Even though they are a Panthers rival, I love watching their open style of play and high power offense.
September 17, 200420 yr Yeah, just when the Panthers were starting to get a little bit interesting... I seriously doubt I'll ever get interested in hockey again after this. I don't care that it's gone. I don't care if they contract the Panthers. I don't care if the NHL comes back. Whatever, dudes.
September 17, 200420 yr I'll be interested when more black people are in it. We need to conquer another sport.
