Bring back the excitement

Glen Cuthbert, Hamilton, Ont.

Where has the excitement gone? I was recently watching some clips of some '80s hockey and the thing that really stood out to me was the sheer excitement of the players after scoring a goal.

Theo Fleury sliding across the ice on his knees, Steve Yzerman jumping around like a mad man and many others.

The only player who really seems to enjoy scoring these days in Alex Ovechkin. All the rest just seem to be sleepwalking.

Do you want your fans to get excited? Maybe you should show them how.

All things considered, how would you rate this NHL season?












“I think when you’re at home the first two games, sometimes you get a little bit too comfortable at home. Then you come on the road, maybe it’s like a rude awakening…We’ve had three series to figure that out, learn it. We definitely want to be better (Monday), especially in the first game on the road.”
