Sad State of Hockey

I will keep this short. All winter long I have tried to give the NHL a chance but just couldn't find it exciting anymore. Hockey today has no flow or momentum. Just when a team actually starts to get something going the refs call a penalty or two or three. Maybe they feel neglected or something. I am sure many of you will disagree with me and that is fine, to each their own. I did however, keep an eye on the scores just so I could laugh at the Leafs fans. Poor, poor Leafs.

Now that the playoffs are here I was expecting some good hockey but again I was dissappointed. As a prime example of what I am talking about, last night I turned to the Edmonton/Anaheim game and watched it during the commercials of re-runs (yes everybody, I would rather watch re-runs of shows that I have seen several times over than an NHL game right now). So I had the game on for about 30 seconds and there were two penalty calls in that time. I don't know if anyone actually saw the infraction other than the ref either.

Congratulations Bettman, you have officially ruined hockey. Good thing they are still showing poker on tv, because that's a real spectator sport. Ha!
