Hockey can die a slow painful death in my opinion. It's not even a sport that matters to most people outside of Canada.
I used to be a big fan in the days of the Oilers dynasty, but the game has changed to a slow moving, clutch and grab hockey we see today. Seeing the US junior team this year gave me hope that hockey can be fun to watch again. Watching the Canadian junior team playing their style of game made me realize why I quit watching hockey all together.
