alot of people are upset here that the season was cancelled and took the joy away. many went to the minor leagues and found more dedication and heart (something that is missed in the NHL). going to be some time before anyone would buy a ticket to the game again. In the usa, hockey has no where near the fan base as in canada. Most didnt even realize it was cancelled.

I consider myself somewhat of a hockey fan but your right. I didnt even notice...LOLOL I have been to only one NHL game but a shit load of CHL so I guess I am more of a CHL fan. I got to see Philly and Buffalo play in 98 and I loved it. I was a fan before then because of seeing the Memphis Riverkings and Oklahoma City Blazers play so many times. I consider both those places my home so it was always an exciting game for me. And Memphis just happen to be top news today, better watch out OKC...
