Been playing and watching hockey all my life and I'm saddened by the current state of affairs. First off the new rules under basketball man Gary Bettman are a joke. How many times do you hear Mickey Redmond say "that's not hockey". I have not been to the LCA and not sure when I will try it. As mentioned above I can't stand all the needless noise of canned music during every stoppage of play. As for the empty seats, I've heard from friends that have gone that a good portion of the crowd are there, they're just hanging in all the bars and restaurants and not in their seats.

Love what our boy Gallant is doing with Vegas. Wish we would have hired him.
