Hockey Night In Canada Yes/No/Maybe

I lost interest in the NHL many years ago and hardly ever watch a game on the boob tube. If you gave me free tickets to go watch a game I'd say, "No thanks".
I remember hockey back when Bobby Pulford, Frank Mahovlich, Carl Brewer, and Allen Stanley were wearing the double blue. Back then, if you took a check, it was part of the game. Today's version of hockey is way too watered down with inferior players.
For those of you that still follow these overpaid athletes, there's this news from ScrappleFace:

NHL to Settle Salary Dispute with Lawyer Fistfight

by Scott Ott
(2005-02-15) -- The National Hockey League, on the verge of canceling the season over a salary dispute with the player's union, announced that negotiations would end today with a "bare-knuckle fistfight between the lawyers."
Gary Bettman, the attorney who serves as NHL commissioner and Bob Goodenow, a lawyer and executive director of the player's union, will "throw down the gloves" at an arena yet to be named. Tickets for the event have already sold out.
If Mr. Bettman wins, the NHL imposes a salary cap at 55 percent of revenues. If Mr. Goodenow wins, the players receive a 24-percent pay cut, but avoid a revenue-based cap.
The winner of the fight will be determined by the league dentist, who, incidentally, is the NHL's highest paid employee.
No matter who wins, the NHL will continue to hone its marketing strategy "to entertain fewer fans at higher ticket prices until owning an NHL franchise becomes America's best way to reduce taxable income and keep your name out of the papers."
