Would you care about a 48 game season?

I wouldn't watch a single game and keep my focus on the juniors until the draft. Then I'll go back to the NHL. 48 game season is a joke. Just forget half of the season and now come back so we can get at least a bit of money this year. No respect. But that's just me.

I'd be fine with a 48 game season. The best teams will still make the playoffs and if you can win 4 rounds you deserve the cup.

I'd tell myself no, and then come crawling back after a week or two.

The season will feel different, but not any less meaningful.

I couldn't acre less how many games as long as once were playing again it's with a 10+ year new CBA, and doesn't allow CAP circumvention contracts (I hope)

I won't be buying tickets/merchanside/center ice for 2 years...just a personal decision along with alot of my family, but I will watch on TV every game I can.
We have seen 10 or so AHL/OHL games this year, and I watch as much KHL as I can, and they are quite exciting games, but they can't compete with NHL.

not really, last year after 50 games the only team that wasn't in the playoff picture at 50 games that made it in was phoenix (and they were like 9th the entire way).

48>0 in my book.
