    I get what you're saying but it's an entertainment product and these guys get paid millions. Working on holidays is part of the gig.

    I'd play any day at any hour if I got the dough they get.
    How about Cops, FFers, Drs, etc.,....do they get no respect?

    Spot on, for the amount of money they get I'll play any place, any time, any day.

    I'd even miss my wedding or the birth of my child for that kinda money

    That's what lockouts do for you. League keeps money down and owners get more money, and players think they are winning by getting a few days off. Owners win always

    This also has to do with the buildup of world juniors. It's a pretty big tournament .

    An American opinion.

    I commend the league for allowing allowing players some family time during the holidays.
    They even have a travel restriction in place.

    This isn't about if it's watchable or not.
    That's a personal opinion.

    No American based sport can be watched for more than 10 minutes.
