Hello all, As I am sure most of you have guessed, I am Flyers fan. However I am trying to reach out to you all simply as a fan of the NHL. To be more specific . . . a disgruntled fan of the NHL. I believe this league has gone backwards in the last 15 years (maybe more), it has taken great strides alienate its most loyal fans. I want to unite the hardcore fans who feel this way in all of the NHL's city's and allow their voice to be heard. I have recently started a new blog for people to voice their opinions. I think Red Wings fans in particular will find my first post rather interesting. http://insidetherink.blogspot.com/ Check it out, feel free to give me suggestions. Right now this league is in trouble, we can change it. If you don't mind I plan on sticking around your site as well, I am very impressed with what you have going on here.

well the parade the penalty box presents an awfully large problem, and I'd say that the direction of the game is going downhill because of it.

Answer: Why not do both? At the end of the day this is sports entertainment, fans want to see Gordie Howe hatricks.

While I disagree about the trapazoid thing, I agree with everything else.

We in Philly watch those games on Tv and are amazed that the whole lower ring of the Joe is empty. We wonder what the reason is . . . . Some of us feel that you all are trendsetters and are boycotting because of what the league has become . . .

That is exactly it. I have a laundry list of issues I have with the league, as I am sure most of you do as well. Like I said, the league changed something that really didn't need to be changed, they did it to try and attract new fans with their shiny silver logo . . . just like they tried to attract fans with a glowing puck, or changing the rules to create more scoring, when all they had to do was simply call the rules that were on the books. To me that logo is a symbol of what the league has become . . . There are a few changes they have made to improve the game 1.) Removing the red line 2.) Moving the face off to the penalized players defensive zone

You are certainly open to disagree with me. But let me ask you, when was the last time MLB, the NFL or the NBA drastically changed it's logo? My blog has very little do with the Flyers and much more to do with the NHL as it is. If your happy with the shoot out, that your thing. Personally I think it is mickey mouse.

Did the logo really need to be changed in the first place? I think when they did that it was indicative of what the people who run the league are all about.

Thank you! Feel free to drop comments on the blog. Starting next week I will begin posting my Theses . . .
