NHL Playoffs: DET @ CHI

Plenty to fix in the NHL
By STEVE BUFFERY, QMI Agency


Ban fighting? Nah. It's part of the game. But please keep policing hits from behind, writes the Sun's Steve Buffery. (REUTERS)

Now that another NHL season is upon us, we’re going to hear continued balderdash about how the game has never been better.

Which I don’t buy for a second.

The way I see it, the game is certainly not as entertaining as it was just a few short years ago, and this isn’t a rant about how Eddie Shore was the greatest defenceman ever or how I pine for “old-time” hockey.












Are you bummed Canada lost to Sweden in the quarterfinals at the world hockey championship?
  Yes
  No
  Who cares ...
