Oh I have to disagree Kevin.  Hockey is one of the few things I crave in the Olympics.  And while I agree with Gene that hockey is a Candadian specialty, it was my boyhood favorite sport to play as a child and when my town got our own local NHL franchise we all went nuts with glee.  My town  loves hockey and the strike was a major league (pardon the pun) let down for all of us...so this news is a great thing for us.  Let's get back at it folks.

Go Bluejackets!  (we hate the RedWings)
