For fuck's sake. Again?
There style of hockey is god-awful boring.
They cry like little girls anytime someone gets hit.
No-one showed up to watch them at home during the regular season. The economy helped with that, true, but it has been stated by friends and family members of mine (and others) that had season tickets that gave them up because of the lack of physical play. Not fighting, but any kind of physical play. And, no, one or two playoff seasons to not make up for the 14 years of bitch hockey this team revels in.
When the rest of the league adopts this style of play (this is what Buttman and company want), it will be paramount everywhere.
When people stop going on a grand scale out of utter boredom and direct disrespect for the game and it's players acting like little kids every time they get checked or looked at the wrong way, the league will fold.
The only way to stop this from happening is for the league to see that the euro style of hockey is not accepted here. And whenever you bitch wing, so-called "hockey" fans cheer for your euro-cunts, you are helping the team kill the game at a professional level.
Out....
