2012-13 NHL regular season discussion

Yeah, about that excitement...



Preseason is gone, talks are barely going to start since the lockout was imposed (and on secondary issues), and the bad blood is only intensifying. I think we have a 50/50 chance of losing the Winter Classic and possibly the entire season. Assholes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just wish the streams were easier to find, and at less weird times for an American.

Stupid NHL lockout, I was looking forward to Rick Nash being another Glen Sather letdown lighting up things with Gaborik and Richards.

Just find out where your favorite players, or players from your favorite teams, are signing and follow that particular team (I've just been using Wikipedia to see where people are signing). This site was recommended to me for watching KHL games:

KHL / Upcoming Broadcasts / LiveTV

I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know how well it works. Better than nothing as of now, though. I'm currently also looking for SEL (Swedish Elite League) games and Swiss League games, so if anyone knows where I could watch those, that would be great.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That really seems that that is what the NHL owners want you to think. I feel like the NHL really never got established enough since the last lockout wiped out scores of fans that were on the edge, and this one will repeat that cycle over again. It just makes no sense for the NHL to want to wipe out a season after record revenue and with a new TV deal in the states. My "realistic" hope is that we have hockey by the Winter Classic, and I still think that will happen.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Kind of hoping that Brodeur wins another cup in a shortened season and that the Kings fall flat on their faces out of the gate again, with no second half to fix everything and go on a surprise run. But seriously, I'm just really freaking excited that there's gonna be hockey in a week and a half or so.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
