It's very regional, if you're in a market with a team you're very likely to dive into the sport. It's hard to follow from afar when no one is talking or caring about it. I try really hard to keep up with The Penguins but just don't have the attention span to follow the regular season. I do however check into the Stanley Cup Playoffs with they get started and always have a blast. There is just something awesome about playoff hockey. My team (the Milwaukee Admirals) aren’t NHL, so that may be a strike against any interest, but really, growing up I was just more of a fan of MLB and NFL. It may also have to do with me hating skating... Give me tickets tho to see a sporting event, NBA, NFL, MLB, hockey, soccer, etc. and I’ll go and enjoy the shit out of it tho. If you're a Milwaukee fan you may as well give the preds a shot. They are our farm team so lots of the guys from there end up playing for us and vice versa.

There is a 37.5% chance of me being VERY upset in a few hours

Alright people... WERE 5 DAYS AWAY.
I sound like a typical Leafs fan for this one, but DAMN I feel good about what we've done this offseason. Added TJ Brodie, a #2 defenceman and somebody finally worthy of playing on Morgan Reilly's side. Added Grit with Wayne Simmonds and Zack Bogosian, some real small key pickups that could pay dividends in Jimmy Vesey, Mikko Lehtonen and Alex Barabanov from the KHL. Last but not least, added JUMBO Joe, and to start training camp he's been placed on the top line with Matthews and Marner (might not last, but hey ITS FUN).
56 Games, new divisions.... I can hardly wait. Stoked!

I hate that I'm not even excited about the season cause the preds have been so disappointing. Hynes has shown nothing and we let some good players leave, but overall Nashville is where good talent goes to die. At least we have Askarov coming up the pipeline in a few years.....

Even bought super glue and posted it on social media and said "maybe this will help." I still wish we drafted a forward who could have helped us now, but by the time we picked most of the players I wanted were gone, so whatever. His potential is still off the charts regardless of some rough games.

Goalies just take awhile to figure it out!

Who the fuck expected this start from Montreal? I certainly did not. Hope they start losing soon.
