Sorry to be a downer; I'm apparently really having a hard time sorting through my feelings as a fan of hockey and the NHL.
I hope the Flames win tonight, but really, is it a big deal if they don't? I'm not sure anymore.

It is ugly, it is a travesty of justice and it will leave a mark on the sport.
That being said I think it is also legitimate to say there are a ton of character people involved in the sport and painting the entire league as rotten would be untrue and a disservice to all those who do good in the sport.
Any entity from charities to philanthropies to sports to business has a rotten core if you dig deep enough. That does not excuse it or make it right but it is a reality of our world unfortunately.
I will continue to look for the character, the good and the difference makers in the league as I try and enjoy the sport for the positives it brings.
