Especially when you said, "That the love of the sport has irrevocably been compromised by the greed of those who think being a hero is a right and not a privilege".Exactly. I loved hockey. Not even for a specific team (though I certainly have my favorites) but because I love watching the sport. But, like others, this lockout has left me very disappointed. Have they all forgotten why they wanted to play hockey in the first place? While I may still watch a game here and there on tv, it won't be the same. And I certainly won't be as excited for my teams as I was before.

But you made my day as I read this to my husband and he has a new appreciation for blogging as he said...."Wow, the lockout ended?" You have given me new respect in my husband's eyes.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-22137077453433275932013-01-06T11:49:29.129-05:002013-01-06T11:49:29.129-05:00Carmi thanks for this update, I don't follow t...Carmi thanks for this update, I don't follow the news so this is news to me that the lockout has ended. I think that it's pathetic that only the middle and upper-class get to go to the games, they are so expensive that some children, as well as adults, can't even afford to walk through the doors of the arena, let alone have a beverage or snack at the game. I think that hockey has turned into nothing more than yet another money making venue with overpaid players as well as overstuffed owners... this lockout has left me disappointed and discouraged and the only way you're going to see me back at a game is if I win tickets or someone gives them to me. I refuse to pay for an overpriced night out and I once was a diehard Oilers fan. If I had to pick a team it still would be my Oilers, but I'm sure not going out of my way to contribute to the fat getting fatter! <br /><br />You're right, the heroes didn't return! <br /><br />Have a wonderful week and thanks again for this update! darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.com
