That's why I mostly stick to College hockey. But the NHL honestly has the perfect set up right now. The league is so even right now on and to lock out this year is absurd. What's cool for me is I watched an open practice near me two days ago that was pretty much an all star game list of players there

Matt Carle
Niklas Backstrom
Dustin Byfuglien
Mikko Koivu
Zach Parise
Kyle Okposo
Paul Martin
Keith Ballard
Alex goligoski
And about 25 others

The locked out players started a beer league! So if you live by St louis park MN you can watch these guys for free! Kind of a plus from the lock out =)
