Unwanted Commentary

But at this point we are too tired, too desperate to complain. At this point, anything is good enough. New rosters, new network, new rules. It's OK. We'll deal.

Just let those steel blades hit the fresh ice. Just bring back the chills.

I'm excited. Hockey, well the NHL, is back. A Fall, Winter and Spring of easily accesible hockey via TV or radio is upon me. It is something to look forward to and soon I shall have the cable that will forthwith allow me to view the mysterious and much maligned Outdoor Life Network. To a certain extent I feel that if I had been a real hockey nut I could have gone to the myriad of icey venues that are available here in North Texas and I will conceed that this might have been an apt replacement. That being said, the NHL does provide much easier access by way of televised games and they should consider themselves lucky that the minor league teams fail to warrant broadcast in this region. I feel I could have happily substituted the smaller leagues for the bigger one had I had the opprotunity to do so. All the same I am quite gleeful at the return of the latter.
