Where was Pac Man?



Last night's brawl between Ottawa and Buffalo was reminiscent to the mayhem that apparently took hold of the Las Vegas strip during last weekend's NBA All-Star festivites. Starting with the hit itself, it looked like Drury had his head down and was admiring the play a bit. It didn't seem like Neil's shot was a cheap one, but we'll have to ask Jeremy Jacobs or William W. Wirtz for confirmation.

How stupid is Murray? Putting his scoring line out there after that? You can't put Spezza, Comrie, and Heatley on the ice after that happens. He's a fucking moron. Emery was the toughest dude they had on the ice and he's wearing all the goalie pads too. He was beating the shit outta Biron and then had to go again. You know he was loving it. Someone should have gotten third man in (insert caveat here) and stuck up for Emery. Peters could have really crushed him.

Meanwhile, does anyone whine more than Ruff-Ruff? Talk about the boy who cried wolf. He and Torts should have their own seminars.

But these are the kinda things the league actually needs more of. It makes an early block on Sportscenter. It gets people's attention. This is what hockey's about. It's not meant for a wine and cheese crowd.

As a self-deprecating Ranger fan of twenty years, the team I've loved for so long is not making any progress quickly. Stuck with a lost coach, an MIA GM, and an egomaniac owner who knows less about hockey than Gary Bettman, it appears as though it will be another 41 years until we win another Stanley Cup. So, what are the short term options? To save the the Penguins and move them to the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn! The Penguins are poised to be the next dynasty in sports yet are potentially doomed to be moved to a hillbilly market that will further destroy the image and decrease the popularity of the already floundering NHL. What better for a league in thick turmoil than to move its marquee franchise to the #1 sports market in North America. Think about the profits that could be reaped with Sidney Crosby playing in the #1 media market? With all of Mario Lemieux's concerns in buidling a new arena, he should turn to Brooklyn-the new Nets arena, the Frank Gehry designed Barclays Center will be ready for business in three seasons when the Penguins biggest starts will only be still in their early 20s!Imagine the country's most promising franchise and one of hockey's most exciting teams ever playing in New York City in the most state of the art building in the country. The possibilities are endless.
