It has often been said, wisely, that it is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. With an enemy it is easier to understand, if not like, meanness and stupidity. With friends we expect so much more. Maybe that's the way it is with the NHL and its fans. The league and its players fought a bitter 301-day lockout and it is fair to say those who suffered the most as a result were the ones who got dragged along — the secondary employees and the fans. A pox on both their camps, the players and the owners. Are you ready to forgive the greedy idiots, the bunch of them? Ready to lay down hard-earned cash to grease the gears and get the Great Zamboni back up and running? On the one hand Canadian fans are understandably eager for the NHL's return, but at the same time the love of the game runs deeper here than it does where hockey is still viewed as a niche sport. That makes the forgiving harder, more genuine. Hockey's not the enemy, anyway — it is the people running the NHL who have betrayed it, and us.
