The action is actually more entertaining and wide open. You don't have the Markus Naslunds, but it's actually a faster paced game due to the relative lack of skill by defensemen. Much less clutch and grab. It actually resembles the oft-heralded "80s hockey" that everyone misses so much. I'd watch it...happily.
I'm probably going to watch the scabs, I've only seen one AHL game this year and after watching NCAA hockey the AHL game seemed like a blur, intersting point though is that the NHL implemented a lot of changes in the AHL, perhaps they were onto something. anyway what 'replacements' are we even looking at? I doubt that any high level prospect will lace em up for NHL2, its going to be a low level rejects skating in NHL jerseys, its just not going to be the same experiance.
