The NHL isn't the NFL. It just isn't as popular as other sports. I am thinking we will not have an NHL season at all this year. I just hope they figure it out soon, and at least give us half a season like the NBA did. This greed is insane. I love Hockey. Big Lightning fan, but I was rooting for the Kings all the way in the Playoffs. I love the underdog, and for the eighth seed to win the Stanley Cup and do it as easily as they did - amazing.
