The National Hockey League would surely like to forget what's happened in the early 21st century (probably would like all sports fans to forget, too). The 2004-2005 NHL season was the first in professional sports to be completely cancelled due to a disagreement between team owners and players. Too bad, because hockey can be an exciting spectator sport. If you've never been to a live game and only watched on TV, you owe it to yourself to go and get a taste of how completely different the experience is in person.
