I was a massive fan for decades. I would wear my jersey and cheer at the top of my lungs during a game. It didn't matter if I was at the game, at home, or in the pub. I would follow statistics of the league and spend a day planning the pool I was in. I had a lot of fun and I didn't care what anyone thought.

This last year it has completely changed. I pvr the games and jump through them quick. I drink waaaay less beer. I've had 10 in the last 3 months. Heck, I lost 15 pounds! I do get a bit excited when the Flames play really well. I think it's mostly because it looks more fun to be skating, hitting, tick tack toe passing, and scoring. We're not use to the pretty plays. If it's a boring game I'm pretty "meh" about it. I haven't worn my jersey once this season.

I've mentioned it before, but the business of the game has tarnished hockey for me.
