14 years of “I’m not sure…”
Since 1992 I’ve been writing and saying “I’m not sure what the clowns running this league are trying to do …”
I guess when you add up 14 years of I’m not sures and you get what we’re seeing on the ice these days in the post season. Penalties, penalties and more penalties. This is fact may kill what’s left of the game. If there is no post-season, there is no NHL. There seems to be no room for hitting left in the game. I’m speechless.
May have to go to a completely classic hockey clip format on the Bully and not worry about chasing this bullshit they call pro hockey any longer. fights or no fights. It’s just watered down men’s league slop on a second-rate network with hefty-ass ticket prices.
Might be time to get back to hockey clips where the game was entertaining to watch and not just another one of life’s many aggravations, like watching this current shit they are trying to pass off as entertainment.

I can understand your frustration with the “new NHL”. I have some specific beefs as well. But I sincerely hope you won’t boycott the action of this playoffs. There are some great hits and goals and rants (and eventually maybe some brawls) and I was hoping BSB.com would be my one stop for it all.

Yeah, no worries. I think I was bummed out about the Flyers getting destroyed. But when I thought about it more I have concluded that except for a week or two during the regular season this team has under-achieved and is likely not that good to begin with. After figuring that out, seems like a weight has been lifted somewhat and now they can flounder until Buffalo puts them out of their misery.

Bully,
I’m with you even if I am a Ranger fan… I’m so fed up with Bettman and his cronies. Hopefully you saw him on NBC Saturday saying that his refs better keep calling the games like pussies or he’ll fire them. Then, the Rangers/Devils have exactly 5 minutes at even strength in the 3rd period.
Fast forward to Sat night I watched the Flyers/Sabres and was appalled that the Flyers had to kill off 4 minutes straight in penalties in OT. IN THE PLAYOFFS.
The hockey purists need to find a new sport I’m afraid. Does Lacrosse have a TV contract?
