How old? Original Six or just pre-salary cap?

GD this is what I've missed most since moving to KC. Even living in PHX I caught a lot of Coyotes games. I wish we had a team.

Hockey is now the 6th or 7th most popular sport in America... before the first lockout, they were 4th.

NFL
MLB
NBA
NASCAR
SOCCER
MMA?
NHL

I just saw that the new CBA will run 10 years. That really sucks. So we might not get another lock out or strike until 2023? I don't think the nation can make it that long.

PENGUINS!

Owners can opt out after year 8.

No one cares about the greedy watered down soft NHL anymore.

No, I'm amused because I think it's neat that you think no one cares about the NHL, yet if we rounded up your entire town, we couldn't find ten people willing to go to your funeral unless they were guilted into it. But sure, tell us of what no one cares about.

I will guarantee you the NHL is a higher revenue league than MLS and MMA. And perhaps even Nascar, which is just as regional a sport as hockey, btw. Hockey is successful being what it is. Culturally, there is no way in the next twenty-five plus years it will supplant baseball, football, and basketball as America's preferred sporting contest. But it was extremely healthy for what it was before the lockout, and I think that growth is going to continue or at least hold steady. It's very difficult to lose a hockey fan once you're really into it.

I really like the potential of their young goalies. I think between Wedgewood and Kinkaid we can find a future goalie.

NASCAR is a monster man. The NHL was really moving in the right direction prior to this lockout. What a damn shame.

just the NHL from like the 90s all the way to 2006-2007 kinda.

NHL hockey sucks now, it's fun to play in real life but watching it is a snooze fest. Way too many lames that have barely even played the game trying to over analyze it and when they reduced the hitting, it turned into a soft league. Give it a few more years and there won't even be fighting in it anymore.
