The Ultimate Offseason Post

Nothing is happening. What better opportunity than now to tackle the serious issues the team/league will face in the indeterminable future. It's a hot button issue that comes up around this time every year, and we need to solve it in a few generalizing points for good, until the next offseason happens. It'll be a long way going, but these steps will get us going in the right direction for when we recycle these exact same points because nothing got done about it.

First off, we need to address the changing of this rule, or ignore the demand to change the rule because it:s not that serious and they're all being a bunch of whiners. Independent third parties have been conducting scientific studies on said issue, They appear to make a strong case, however this is sports, and there's no room for nerds in sports.

The issue with the issue is the people in charge though. The problem is that they are all dumb, and I'm not. I have all the answers to the problems, and I curse each day that I'm relegated to writing opinion pieces instead of making boatloads of money for playing fantasy hockey. The people in charge are mired in tradition, which keeps them from making any significant progress to fix the team's problems. At the same time, they're eschewing tradition in the ways that I don't like, because I want to hang on to fading memories of the Good Old Days that may or may not have existed. It's time to get rid of the rose tinted glasses for sepia.

I know I said that I know everything better than the hockey people in charge, but I can only be vague at best, because there's a lot of numbers involved. With all these contracts, shots, goals, and minutes being measured, it leaves me scared and confused. Everyone knows that math is useless; that's why I always skipped math class after middle school. You can slap any numbers on that you want, but the issue is still the issue. If you try to quantify and analyse the issue, then a conclusion  that I don't agree with might arise. And if I don't agree with it, then it's definitely wrong. The issue is best treated as if it's a dangerous mythical beast. If we question the issue's will, then it'll eat us.

Only time will tell when the issue gets resolved, but when will that be? In due time.
