Just STFU and play the damn games OK? I don't want to hear we're sorry again!

Dear fans:

As your teams prepare for the opening face-off of the 2012-13 season, we thank you for your patience and we apologize to you for the time we've missed. From today forward, we will do everything we can to make this season worth the wait.

We are committed to earning back your trust and support the same way it's earned on the ice: with hard work and unwavering dedication. Your cheers drive us forward, and we're committed to making you proud to be a fan -- by delivering a game with the action, the skill and the intensity you deserve.

Like you, we've missed NHL hockey. We've missed the clutch goals, the big hits, the electrifying saves. We've missed the flash of the red light, the sound of the siren, and the way the building shakes when the home team scores.

It's time to focus on the best athletes in the world, on the enduring greatness of the game, and -- above all -- on the connection that binds fans, players and families everywhere. NHL hockey is the best in the world. The future is incredibly bright. So let's drop the puck and marvel at all the remarkable things the players do with it.

With respect and appreciation,
The National Hockey League

P.S. The teams are planning special events and unique opportunities to welcome you back. We hope you'll get in on the action. And again, thank you.

Blah blah blah blah

Save the bullshit insincere apology money spent on advertising and subsidize parking costs or something that actually benefits fans.

I agree Bizz. I think the writers comments are spot on in the article, he says pretty much the same thing.

Even if he did like everything, why would that be a reason to get rid of the system? Even abusing it doesn't do any harm...

Abusing rep didn't hurt anything, and they got rid of that...

True, but I guess it made more sense to me to get rid of rep since everyone saw how much you had. No one sees how many posts of yours were liked unless they follow you around and count them. There isn't even a tally.

True... I don't know, to me they are both arbitrary, irrelevant, and slightly amusing ways to tell someone you liked a post without having to create another unnecessary post if you had nothing substantial to add. Reading anything more into them is completely over thinking The Hoop and the innernetz in general.
