(six-six-oh) Sometimes things go straight to hell. Set in a present day former coal town on Canada's west coast 6-6-o witnesses the rough lives and deaths of men and women cursed not only by their choices but by their proximity to a simple streetlight. It begins simply enough with the story of Davey and Bert in the 1950's. Two men set with the unfortunate task of installing power poles in the quickly developing farmland known locally as Seven Acres. In modern times a light with an unfortunate mark graces a tired neighbourhood, illuminating some of the worst acts of people living under it and flickering dark when things get really bad. A very dark, gritty and rough ride.
Former journalist Michael Munro unveils the pain points in today's professional hockey in this essay regarding the current state of the NHL. He had the privilege of covering the NHL in the late 1980s and early 1990s from Vancouver, interviewing people from Eric Lindros to Trevor Linden, Igor Larionov, Pat Quinn, Brian Burke and Gino Odjick. Michael shares the real honor it was to be around the NHL and has nothing but the highest regards for all of those involved in the game and the incredible athletic ability of these men. With this article, he hopes to begin a frank discussion of where the NHL is now in terms of entertainment value. Starting with the state of the game when Michael first played hockey with his brothers, he explores why the game has become so difficult to watch and how his love of hockey lives more in the past than where the game is today.
