Who would have thought that the worst part of post-lockout hockey would be the officiating?Frankly between the circus-clown officiating and the lack of conditioning and polish of these teams, I find I'm just not that interested in hockey right now.
I mean, I went to the home opener, and what resulted from that? It was fun and all, but the most noteworthy reaction I had was the fact that I paid $5 for a fountain drink that was all carbonation. So I went and found a vendor selling pop by the bottle, and paid her $5 for a 600mL bottle of pop. So I ended up paying $10 for a bottle of pop.
Hockey? Yeah, there was some hockey. And the good guys won, which was good.
But overall I don't feel the need to vent about the officiating because frankly I'm just not watching. For some reason I just don't care.
...other than that, I got nothing.
(Update: This article talks about the new definition of interference, which explains some of the calls which would be ordinarily stupid. Personally I look for normal service to resume well before the playoffs.)
