The Sharks and Ducks have always sold out games. Even when they sucked. Fact. If hockey is so regional why is there no team in Winnipeg, or Quebec City anymore? If it were regional it wouldn't be in the southern US cities. And when it's not making money in those places or any other place for that matter they move the teams. The same as they move teams out of Canada when they are not making money.
The regional concept is very 1965. It just doesn't hold up.
If you prefer the old clutch and grab way of interfering with the puck carrier I feel sorry for you. Now the game is about hitting the puck carrier. Like it used to be. Like it should be. I am soooo glad they took all that neutral zone hooking out. It totally ruined the game for a good 10 years or so.
I stand by my statement. I'd rather watch a Junior level hockey game than any other pro sport. At it's very worst hockey is 100x more interesting than the other three big league sports.
