I actually watched hockey this year AND enjoyed it. I wish they had a strike and lockout every year. Somehow, a hockey season that starts and finishes in warm weather is just not Canuck to me. Somehow, watching hockey and having the air condtioners on just ain't right.

Many years ago, I became a fan of a much less violent and far more slow paced game which begins it's preseason games in just about 31 hours. Dallas and Miami. I still have to wait until Friday to see my fav team, the New England Patriots, play Yankee Football.
