Watch any of the five West Superpowers (yes I count Dallas still, leave me alone, they're my team) play each other and you'll see the fire that these guys bring to the game when they play, Detroit, Colorado, Dallas, St. Louis, and Vancouver, man, those guys can score and they have quite a bit of skill.

you're obviously upset that the stanley cup champions happen to be the devils... i'm sorry for you.
ps - don't compair the wild to the devils - they aren't even in the same world. remember how the devils played the stanley cup finals? three 3-0 shutouts of the ducks, one 6-3 win - that's not a low scoring, terrible offence there - remember, the red wings couldn't win ONE GAME...
truth is, a 0-0 game can be and often is much more exciting then a 5-4 shootout. it's the kind of game where your heart's in your throat knowing that ANY play on the puck, any wrong move, any crack in the defense could spell doom or victory... it's intense pressure that everyone feels. now, on the other hand, if it's a 0-0 game because both teams are incompetant and pathetic, i'd be sleeping in my chair.
and i agree - get your hands on some hockey tickets - go to the game. take a few minutes to learn the basic rules and you'll be fine. it also helps to have a home team to root for.
