People who think that somethings wrong with gaming all the time and yet watch 3-5 hours of TV all the time.

I totally agree with those 2 things as well.

Oh and I don't think we wouldn't get along in real life :)

Actually I also hate Bieber and Activision, and don't like PC bigots and I love the NHL and do not want to see the teams you mentioned leave even if that American south has the worst hockey fans. I also liked the days before the lockout when refs were less strict on penalties. The game had lower scoring bought the rough and tough action and increased fighting made the game great.

I'm about as hardcore a hockey fan as there is and I much prefer the post-lockout NHL. Hockey was really hard to watch from about 1994 to the lockout. None of the skill players were able to display any skill because they were getting mugged in the neutral zone. When I watch hockey I want to see amazing players like Crosby, and Ovechkin actually play hockey, not get bear hugged by some 6 foot 5 gorilla that can barely skate. If I want to watch grown men holding each other i can watch UFC =)

I also don't care about fighting one way or another. Sure, I'm like everyone else that jumps up and cheers for a good tilt, but I also enjoy playoff hockey more than regular season hockey by a lot, and there is absolutely no fighting in the playoffs. If they took it out I'd be fine with it, but I don't mind it staying in either since it disappears naturally when the real games begin.

 

I certainly dont miss the trap style defense, but there needs to be a better balance between what aggression is allowed and still giving skill players the ability to show off their skills.

Also if you don't think their fighting in playoff hockey we must be watching totally different games because I always felt there was more fighting in the playoffs.

I'm mostly mad from the salary cap because I miss the days when the Avs could spend all the money they wanted to make a badass team every year fighting the hated Red Wings to find out who was number one. So I associate the rule changes with destroying my favorite team to being only average.

We must be watching different games because there is literally no fighting in the playoffs. Teams don't even let their goons on the ice in the playoffs. You don't risk sending your crappiest player out when your season is on the line, and you don't risk sending him out to start a fight when the other player could turn him down and now ur looking at killing off a penalty in the playoffs. It's very rare to see fights in the playoffs. They happen, but not often and only in a natural circumstance.

I'm in favour of a cap. Probably because I'm a die-hard Blackhawks fan, and they had the cheapest owner in the league before the lockout. Team bias aside, though, I still like a cap system. I much prefer the way the NHL and NFL are run than the way MLB is run. You can look at the MLB when teh season starts and point out 15 teams that are guaranteed to miss the playoffs. It's kind of a shame that so many teams have no shot to win every year. At least the NHL now, and the NFL have parity. Teams that are bad take a few years to get good and good teams eventually need to be bad in order to rebuild.
