Dear NHL; Your Game Sucks

You know what I'm talking about.

The game...as it is played today...is largely unwatchable.

A few years back there was this idea that the game should once again be about skating, with skilled players making it exciting to watch.

For a while it worked.

But for the past few years (...at least), the game has become more like a wresting match on skates.

I can't tell you how many times I have seen a player make an illegal interference play before a puck was anywhere near him or the player he was interfering with.

Or, how many times I have seen - professional hockey players - awkwardly fall to the ice...like guys just learning how to skate...as the result of illegal stick or skate moves that result in what looks like a bad video game.

I don't need to even go on...you guys know what I am talking about.

It's pathetic and becoming more unwatchable each day.

Seriously...fix this already.
