Next, let's go with your last part - what attitudes have changed? I'm all about supporting local and minor-league hockey, but I'm curious what you think is different right now than before with the NHL - or is it that your attitude has changed?
If so, how, and why?

Right.
Let's look at this way. We've all seen the brother or sister who was extremely involved in their fraternity/sorority as a collegian, but once they go alum they lose interest. It happens, people change, interests change, lives change. I'm still not understanding why you don't get that.
Anyway, it's my attitudes that have changed. I'm not interested in supporting the NHL anymore. It's been a whole season and I have found that minor league hockey is more exciting than the NHL. International hockey is more exciting than the NHL. Women's hockey is more exciting. It's a different game and I enjoy watching other leagues, and not the NHL.
I myself am a massive hockey fan. I love the game. I play the game. I coach the game. If you've never played, and have never experience the game at a grass roots level then it might be hard to understand. I find the NHLers are playing for the money and the others are still playing for the love of the game. When you still play for the love of the game, it's a different, more exciting game.
