I've been a Dallas fan since the late 80's when they were in Minnesota. I haven't followed the league much apart from the playoffs. Frankly it's too long of a season with too many games that mean nothing. In the last few years I've been more interested in junior hockey and a couple of my friends who have made it to the NHL. I cheer more for them now than any one team really. So I guess I'm more excited about seeing friends play than seeing an actual team play.
For all you guys who love hockey games I'd suggest getting Eastside Hockey Manager 2005 when it comes out in a month. It's amazingly comprehensive and incredibly addictive. You're the coach of any team in the world and you can trade, sign, etc any player in the world. So all you guys who say "Toronto should do this" Pick up the game in September when it comes out and try it out yourself. It's tons of fun. you can download the demo at sigames.com.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
