I don't watch as much because I hate the Flames or anything like that. I stopped watching because I hate the hockey, it doesn't capture me anymore. Its become a passive game. I'll tune in, in the background, but if the flames go down multiple goals, I 'll turn the game off.

I agree with the above. I don't need to tune into a Flames game to hear incessant chatter about the greatness of McDavid, I don't need to watch the panel to hear about free lanes to the net and rights of way. In the old days, there was no such thing in hockey.

Hockey to me looks soft, there's no emotion to it anymore, the players don't seem to care all that much. Its so system oriented that I can go to youtube, google NHL video game and get better hockey.
