I'm presuming most of the people here who like hockey are 'Hawks fans.  But, how do ya'll like the "new" NHL?

 

I'm a canes/sens fan. So far I am ambivalent about the "new" NHL. I liked the defensive play of the Canes, but am willing to give this new hockey a chance before I hate it lol.

Steve, I lost respect for you on that one...

 

Too many penalties and stuff, but the game play is so much better in the NHL.

In the minors it's much better IMO because the guys there don't have 5 million dollar contracts and a gigantic ego to go along with it. They are trying to make a name for themselves and its more exciting to me.

I've liked hockey for a while. Became a Flyers fan when Lindros was big there. Yeah yeah, I know he's a big puss. I still enjoy watching the Flyers play. Forsberg was an amazing addition, but my favorite is still Joni Pitkanen. Even with the year off, I'm suprised I know all the players except Jon Sim. Have to admit I've never even heard of him.

Your statement is certainly true of Chicago hockey anyway. Nobody on that team from the top on down gives a rats ass about winning and they have the worst attendence in the leauge as a result.

 

In the NHL overall though there still is a higher level of play. At least on most teams. Im beginning to realize that my evaluation of the quality of NHL games has been warped by watching those slugs in Blackhawks uniforms stink up the ice every time out for the last 10 years. I wont even watch them anymore though, I just read about them on Blackhawkzone.com and laugh as the posters there just shred them after every dismal performance.

I hear thats like an All-Star game, they combine the best from a bunch of different teams to make a beautiful "picture" perfect team...

 

Sorry, just messing with the spelling error... :cheers
