The bright side of the NHL lockout

Okay, I'm trying to look on the bright side. One benefit of the NHL lockout is the increased attendance at WHL games, especially in cities like Vancouver, with teams in both leagues.

Another was Phoenix Coyote Brett Hull's appearance on Saturday Night Live last night. When Weekend Update co-anchor Amy Poehler asked him how he felt about the recent move in Canada to legitimize same-sex marriage, he said, "That's what happens in Canada when there's no hockey. Guys have more time to hang out, talk about their feelings and fall in love with each other. I have nothing against it, but I'd rather be playing hockey."
