Anyone else feel this way? I missed hockey more than I thought I would and was really looking forward to the start of the season. Then when it came - I chose to watch the baseball games and barely glanced at the high lights. Just feel kind of like, "Yeah, okay it's there again, so I don't have to pay much attention unless I feel like it."

Opposite to you bro. I missed hockey less than I thought I would. But once the deal was signed, my excitement started getting ramped up and I was good to go last night!Cock Throppled said:
Cheap pizza and beer at the Cat's Meow in front of the big screen, and Nazzy putting on a show! You couldn't have moved me out of my chair when the game was on with an bulldozer.
Not to mention a whole lot less teams would be great!ace85 said:

you cut the season by 1/4 and the players are gunna have to take another 1/4 off thier salaries just to make up the lost revenue. Won't happen.
I was surprised to discover last year that I didn't miss it at all. And when it returned last night, I briefly surfed through a couple of games but primarily stuck with the baseball triple header on SportsNet. My enthusiasm for hockey has not returned just because these spoiled millionaires (owners and players alike) have deigned to settle their differences and it's unlikely that it ever will. However I did manage to catch a funny line by Glenn Healy when he and Chris Cuthbert were discussing Mike Ricci's legendary bad looks during the Coyotes-Canucks game. Ricci looks like someone beat him for a month with an ugly stick and Healy commented that "the tide wouldn't even take him out". For a hockey color man, pretty good line.
I missed the NHL far less than I thought I would but was looking forward to the first games once training camp started. It's going to take some time getting used to the new rules and I'll never like or watch the shootout. That part's about as bush league as you can get, kind of like a home run hitting contest to end a baseball game. The first night was a letdown, I didn't think the Canucks game was all that good especially since we had to watch the end of the fucking Leafs game first! I heard some guy on the radio say "big deal, we missed the start of one of 80 something games". It was a big deal considering that we haven't had a game here in 18 months and the build up associated with the first game back, Bertuzzi's return, and Gretzky's first behind the bench. Fucking TSN cocksuckers.
Gotta admit the Sundin injury looked pretty bad. Was it a puck or a tin of Campbell soup chucked from the stands?

I remember watching an episode of The Best Damn Sports Show Period and they had Ricci on as a guest. Apparently, he was once voted sexiest athlete in Colorado. Go figure.JustAGuy said:
