I am ("Of course you are Naf, you're a Canadian"), although I have hated how the NHL (and professional sports in general) has become so mercanary, more about greed and money than the love of the game.
My favorite team is the Edmonton Oilers, so you can see where my bitterness comes from...as soon as they groom a good player, he leaves for greener pastures, making it impossible for the Oil to compete anymore. I miss the good old days of Gretzky, Messier, Coffey, etc. What a team they had in the 80's before money split them apart.
