It was just a better game period back then...its all hype now...Arenas with stupid-ass corporate names, shit-ugly uniforms except for the original 6 teams, advertising all over the ice and boards, hardly any 5 on 5 anymore with all the lame penalties, Eurostyle shoot-outs, boring reg season schedule format,teams placing ahead of others with more points just because they won in a weak, Div, WWF-esque PA announcers, cheap-shot hits from behind..no real rivalries...outrageous ticket prices.

well said man...the game was much better back then...much more exciting to watch too. Too many rule changes in hopes of making the game more appealing to americans. Let's face it...americans like their baseball and football better for some reason...leave the game alone already

The good old days...........

Oh, and I almost forgot that the Nashville Predators, Columbus Blue Jackets, and what the heck, Dallas Stars (Texas and hockey don't mix) are also wastes of NHL space. Ties and losers always getting zero points were things that never bothered me and thinks the NHL should bring back! Oh, and dump the instigator rule and bring on more fights and less cheap shots!

Let's put it this way, the Atlanta Thrashers, Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers, Phoenix Coyotes, Anaheim Ducks, and the Tampa Bay Lighning are a waste of NHL space (regardless of what cups some of them won since 2004). I loved it when the Blues first whipped out their loud air horn for their goals in 1992, but now it's just cheesy when every team has a "goal horn" today. Oh, and don't get me started on PA announcers that hype up the "Power play!!" Real hockey fans know what one is!

I miss playing the Leafs.

What a great rivalry that we've been robbed of. It is a crime against the fans of the NHL that these two teams don't play each other at least 4 times per year.

Instead of moving the Wings east, which will never happen. I propose spliting the conferences like the NFL and MLB do it so it's fair travel for everyone. 2 Conferences. 3 Divisions consisting of West, Central, and East in each conference. Put 3 Original Six teams in one conference, 3 in the other.

Corporate Arena names & the UGLY styles of the jerseys are two FAILS in my book. The NHL is not what is used to be, despite what Bettman says

@CMUBrent That would be nice; but the Leafs should still be in the same division with Les Habitants. Perhaps have the Wings, Leafs & Habs in the same division or something. Well...Detroit & Chicago are huge division rivals as well though

[CMUBrent]

The Wings need to be back in the same division as the Leafs.

Y'know what else bothers me? Hockey fans still living in the 1990's; "the game was better back then..." It's STILL great now. "All hype"? It was all-hype BACK THEN too! You complain about advertising, shootouts, rule changes, & on & on...like everything else in life, you evolve with the times. Don't you get that? This ISN'T the 1990's anymore, it's 2010 now. It's the wave of the future. Do you not understand or something?
