Hockey’s Back!
by Robert McIntosh
It’s been a long, dark and cold winter thus far, but one
thing that has warmed the hearts of many fans has been the return of the NHL
hockey season. With a compressed 48 game
schedule and teams only playing games within the confines of their respective
conferences, every game will be a battle for playoff positioning.
Due to the compressed schedule, there will undoubtedly be
more intensity in each game played. Old
rivalries will be renewed and played with greater fervor. What does greater intensity lead to? It creates bigger hits, exhaustingly brutal
fights, and more memorable moments that can shape a team’s season earlier in
the year. At least for this season, the
regular season is a sprint and not a marathon.
Positioning is critical. For the
fans, this is exactly what they have been looking for. It’s something they have waited for
patiently.
As we are finally able to watch the start of the season,
let’s appreciate the beauty of this wonderful game. Let us embrace what is sure to be a season
full of great saves, magnificent goals and bone crushing hits. The players are back on the ice, so enjoy and
let’s play some hockey!
