No need for Reality TV series in hockey, when reality is few give a rat’s ass …

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

So these jolly ass clowns that have traded law degrees in for the keys to a pro hockey league thought that by watering down the game further with overzealous refs and gimmicks like taking the red line out, painting a trapezoid around the goalie and also creating a salary cap, that somehow that would make […]

NHL TV Ratings: The Fruits of Trading True Fans for Corporate Fantasy

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I talked with Coach Don yesterday who helps keep Bully grounded, as best as he or any referee can, but we struck up an interesting conversation that while the NHL is beating their chest about rink attendance numbers, very little is said about TV ratings. More importantly: Have the fans that tuned the NHL out […]

Another Ass Clown Predicts Hockey’s Future

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

In a column e-mailed to fans and posted on the team’s official website, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk promised to build a Stanley Cup dynasty in the nation’s capital.
“I firmly believe the Ottawa Senators will not only win the Stanley Cup, but we will build a team with the talent and drive to hoard that Cup […]

Props to Carolina Jumbo Screen Ops

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Some pretty good zingers last night on the jumbo screen at the RBC in Carolina that were not mentioned on the Ted Nugent Network (aka OLN).
Good stuff that was put up include:
In the first period: ‘The Carolina Hurricanes have won as many Super Bowls as the Buffalo Bills.’
Then on the Jumbo:
‘Famous people from Buffalo: O.J. […]

You Don’t Know What You’re Missing

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

Man, in the U.S. fans are getting short-changed and have been for years by NHL hockey on the likes of OLN, ESPN, and NBC.
If you had two TVs next to each other with the same game: one feed from the CBC in Canada (and evenĀ  TSN) and one feed from one of the network whore-houses […]

Adios to ‘Broad Street’

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

BroadStreetBully.com started out way back when as a site dedicated to the Flyers and Flyers fighters, hence the name of the site.
Since its inception, Bully has grown to cover far more than just the Flyers. I have since dedicated the site to cover hockey throughout many leagues in many countries. We dig fights, yes. But […]

What Exit?

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

Watching the Devils Hurricanes game along with the Sens game. There are a lot, way too many, empty seats in the Meadowlands tonight in the lower bowl.
The only place in the NHL where I’ve seen empty seats this year in the playoffs. Makes you wonder who the Devils are playing for?

Gotta Move On: Go Flames

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

Coach D. is always saying Bully is too negative. Bully hates everything. OK, so I’m thinking positive and throwing my support behind the Calgary Flames because they play the brand of hockey that used to be a benchmark in Philly …. but, … remember Bully: stay positive. Plus, the girls get crazy up there on […]

48 hours and counting …

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

Cue up Ed Snider for his annual diatribe of excuses. My take awhile this time to get the spin figured out and all the money counted, but expect to hear from him soon.
