Feedback leads to improvement, but I guess some of the ways fans express themselves can be pretty harsh. However, once again, if you're making 6 million bucks a season (compare this to 100 g's doctors make to save lifes), then you better be able to handle all the criticisms from the fans. | The main problem I find with hockey is that it's a sport that not everyone can play, but its a sport that anyone can watch. And the funny thing is, its those non-hockey players-but hockey fans are the most vocal and the most convinced that they know the key to hockey success.

i went to 12 games last year and it got so freaking boring that unless theres a massive change i dont see myself fighting the traffic of cars and people to see them.

If anyone can spark Bert up it'd be a player like Iginla. All of the Western Canadian teams have gone through some interesting changes.
I can't wait for the new season to begin.

LOL, but when he's 40 the salary cap will be like 100 million. Plus he can be bought out.

Remaining salary spread over double the years. So if his salary is $1m, then it's $500k over two years.
