A year without the NHL

So this is the time of year someone is hoisting Lord Stanley's trophy, and I think the NHL will find the same thing that MLB found back in 1994 - you can't not have a championship. Who knows, maybe NHL will figure out a way to use steroids to get the fans back as MLB did, but I think they have a steeper hill to climb. I don't think there are that many die hard fans, even the core base of Canada, the East Coast, and Chicago/Detroit have their share of bandwagoners. I'm guessing the southern teams will lose quite a bit of their following.

I definitely missed the playoffs this year, although I was surprised I didn't turn to the NBA to catch those playoffs to fill the gap.
