1. Yes, but only entertaining match-ups, series deciding games, and/or the finals
2. Very, but moreso if they make some impressive changes in the offseason.
3. Interested. It's hard to maintain the naive passion of hardcore fandom as you get older and have more important priorities.
4. I think I'd pretty much have to know a player on the team on a personal basis, or have a really large amount of money bet on them.
5. It's good, but also getting a bit stale. I actually like this play-in format and wouldn't mind seeing it continued in some fashion. And I'd still like the rink widened a foot in every direction. And fix the point format so there are no more 3 point games.
