ive noticed that since the lockout ive started getting into ALL sports not just hockey, but i still am deeply devoted to hockey, where i live i can watch the pens games and the sabres games on foxsports and MSG its great, i rarely miss games, if im not watching them at my house, im making the bartenders put the games on at the bar. or i'll listen to them on the radio if i have to.

" The avid hockey fan might be the most passionate fan in all of sports, right there with World Cup soccer nuts.
That hockey fan will remain fiercely loyal and protective of the sport, and will keep buying tickets no matter how often the owners and players shut down a season as they squabble over cash. "
