NHL preseason is pretty much like the NFL preseason. Good chance to see possible future players but the games are typically not so great. Every once in a while you do get a good game - usually when both teams are throwing the futures on the ice; it's the young guys trying to make the team that are worth watching. Who beats who doesn't mean much (again, think NFL preseason or Formula 1 practice rounds) because you never know what each team was working on and who they were playing. The last couple of games are usually a little better as the coaches start playing the 'regulars' more to get them tuned up and ready. At least they don't charge full season ticket prices like the NFL does.
