It’s August, barely anything is happening, and the casual fans are all focused on baseball, barbeques, Barbie, and the occasional NFL preseason games. In the hockey world, only the diehards are still around. If you’re reading this, then that’s you.

I wouldn’t write this piece during the season, because the casual fans would take it personally. They’d probably get upset. But you?

We need to talk about you.
