Toss Me Another Cold One!!
How can some keep throwing rumors out there on a dartboard if they are not even worth the paper they are printed on. Too many times in the rush to get the story out…the homework never gets done! It is a lot like a person who goes to take a multiple choice test and thinks they passed it because they finished the test so fast. They later find out that they tanked it and wonder why.
I get so sick of hearing the same BS, garbage rumors on a daily basis. Now I do understand it is late August and training camp is weeks away…but let’s try to come up with something a little more original here. This isn’t too difficult. Do a little research, think outside the box, and before you know it there is a nice neat post that goes up on your site. Just like that!
Anyone else think a team like Anaheim got hosed by Versus? Maybe just a little. How can a team like Minnesota get on Versus 8 times to Anaheim’s 1? Maybe the folks at the channel got out their space-time continuum matrix and figured out the best thing is to show Anaheim Vs. Buffalo so they can cover the Miller Brothers for 2 1/2 hours. Next time would it be so hard to ask for them to get an Anaheim-San Jose matchup? Come on Gary, next time….try harder! Cup winners should get a little love even if you hate their style…hell we know Detroit does. What makes this a little more of a gray issue is that Bettman has brought teams into markets that were considered a little off the beaten hockey paths and yet most of the same hockey markets are still catered to…go figure!
So as I chug down yet another beer in this early part of a Saturday…I think to myself for as good as the game is….it sure could be improved some more. Maybe another drink will make it that much more clear for me and maybe it won’t. One thing is for sure, the NHL has come quite a ways since the lockout but it has an even tougher road ahead before it can compete with the other three professional sports. Now I will take that next drink…thanks!
