Unless someone has concrete ideas on how to fix it, I'm not sure what taking sides accomplishes. Right now, I've never seen or read anything that could magically turn the NHL in this years world junior gold medal game.
The sport is what it is. Hockey maybe just isn't the most exciting end to end sport around. I don't know how you could ever mandate teams give up odd man rushes against to make the game exciting.
Romanticizing the past doesn't do much to improve the game now.

Well, the point of a discussion board is to discuss ideas, so I presented what I felt was wrong with the NHL, (which btw is shared by Brad Treliving in that quote, so it's not me just romanticizing the past) to see where others sit and what ideas they may have.
My post was a little dismissive, as I was just looking to get past discussing it with you and see what others had to say as I generally really dislike your discussion style and didn't feel like getting into a back and forth with you. Nothing personal.
But I guess to touch on your idea that there's no point in discussing it unless someone has concrete ideas to fix it. That was kind of where I was going by opening up the discussions. And to say "hockey is what it is" is silly, because hockey always is what it is until it changes.
