NHL season dies a senseless death

Growing up in Detroit, now living in San Diego
I really miss Hockeytown, Don Cherry, and Octopus
I hope this doesn't spread to the other pro sports
but you know how spoiled athletes are. Its only
going to get worse. A team can't get by on 42.5
Million for 1 season, and hockey players aren't
even close to being as 'bling-bling' as other sports.

I've gone from Hockeytown to Hockeyfrown

No season, no cup, fewer fans in the future

Robbie, I agree this is a horrible thing, Hockey is my favorite team sport and I will miss it sorely in the coming season. I suppose that taped Stanley cup games will have to hold me over for now. Stay strong Hockey fans.

As one that's born and raised in the Old South, a year without hockey is like a fish without a bycycle to me. :p

Sorry, guys, I hardly noticed its absence

Never seen a hockey game myself, but I sure missed baseball during the strike. With the steroid controversy and vastly inflated player salaries, I worry about its future too. :?

It's just another one o' them 'Stick & Ball' sports. No ball, maybe, but lots o' sticks & guys bangin' into each other without any fenders or doors in between. IOW, it's not racing!
