I don't think anyone is protected by anything these days, if they make a mistake or screw up the world will know instantly. Players used to be protected by the press but now they have an army trying to dig anything up. I miss the old days of hockey so much, growing up in the Gretzky years was the greatest thing next to the 1980 miracle on ice. All my Hockey glory was shattered the day the North Stars left Minnesota and it hasn't been the same for me since.
I think a big problem today is the complete saturation of everything. So many channels, so many choices, so little time. I know Hockey Night in Canada used to be a weekly holiday but now days every night is Hockey Night, it's nice but takes away the specialty of making the playoffs so you would get to see every game and it meant so much. Atleast we have the memories, I know every generation always says when they grew up times were much simpler, I hate to think how much more complex things could get than they are now......
