I used to be a fanatic about all the big four, but salary escalation in the other ones made them unrelateable, and as a result, unwatchable. Paying that much cash for a middling player is insane. These guys are playing a children’s game and making way too much money. They have priced most people out of seeing them live. The NHL is killing itself with these silly salaries. It’s no longer fun to cheer for these guys as they have become nothing but commodities. Some people wonder why this board is so grumpy, well maybe it’s because this team and this league has become easy to dislike rather than easy to fall in love with?
