Hockey ... you gonna watch it?
I will likely watch the first period & Coaches Corner of the Leafs games. After that, if there is something else on (movie, somewhat interesting tv show or my wife falls asleep and I can get a quick boob feel in (hers I mean)) then I'll prbably turn it off.
You?
You?

I didn't necessarily "miss" hockey, but, I am curious about all the roster changes and the rule changes.
Gide's hockey pool league will add some excited to it as well.
I am happy it's back as well. I am even more happy that the players got their asses handed to them and the owners pretty much got what they wanted.
That said, I am likely to resume my lust for the Leafs, especially since they have signed Eric Lindros. I had season tickets when he was in Oshawa and he sure was a treat to watch.
Yes, NHL salaries are high. But when you compare what NHL players have to put up with compared to baseball or basketball players (even football players...they only play once a week for a few months), I think they should be the highest paid athletes of them all. I think a lot of people just get angry about what the media tells them to get angry about, and they ignore the rest (i.e. is Tom Cruise really worth $20 million per movie?).
Anyway, sorry for the rant
*Reads rest of thread*
Ok you have a good point with Coaches Corner!
Wolffhound, lol sadsack. I can say one of those vain things now like the year I don't watch is probably the year they win. At least they're smart enough to change some rules. I was even thinking that changing the division names some time back was sheer tinkering. Still, something had to be done, especially after the last year.
Don't get me wrong, the Leafs are my second team, and I would love to see them win the cup just once more in my lifetime and preferrably before HELL freezes over. BUT LINDROSS????? The sooner he leaves the game for good, the better.
How many people won't want to leave the house, especailly once the platoffs have started, to play some poker? Will anybody want to play on a Saturday night?
I guess we could have a TV or Radio close so people care can get the updates.
Time will tell.

"and I'm Bob Cole with Harry Neale and your watching the Leafs who are down 5-0 to the Philadelphia Flyers here in the 2nd period."
Bob Cole drives me crazy...It's time they told him to move back to Topsoil, Newfie-land so he can hangout with his wife and 8 children.
I know Joe Bowen is a homer but I love listening to him and Harry Neale who is the best color-man in the business.
