NHL Season is here!!

Seriously, what is wrong with this league? The third lockout in 10 years and each time it gets worse than before!

I really hate how far Hockey has fallen from the public eye in the past few years but they only have themselves to blame. I don't know why they let it get to a point where it hurts the fan base the most?!

Look at the NFL, they hardly missed a beat during their lockout. It didn't last long and the fans didn't get hurt.

In 1994 MLB went on strike and it KILLED the sport. They couldn't come to an agreement, so baseball stopped mid-season and never came back, missing the World Series completely! Before that time every city had 3 or 4 baseball card shops operating. Now you'd be hard pressed to find even one! Baseball's popularity took a hit that year it'd never recover from. EVERYONE I knew followed baseball but these days all they want to talk about is the NFL.

It happened in the NBA last year too but no one cares about them anyway so it didn't make a difference.

BUT I am happy to see my Red Wings return to the ice and have another mediocre season like always.

GAME ON!
