Tonight, for a lot of you readers, it's all Rangers (and for the sad few of you all Devils). Nothing else matters. Not the Yankees, not the Mets, not the Knicks, not the Nets last game as a losing NJ franchise and defiantly not a silly football draft. Oh you might check in on them during an intermission, but It's all NYR tonight.
For any of you reading saying "no one cares about hockey Ant", you have no idea what you are missing and i feel sorry for you. This is the only sport that you can take off your skate and try and stab a guy and get just a 3 game suspension if the "wheel-o-suspension" lands in your favor. I love this game and I can't wait for the King to do his thing in goal tonight.
There is one non-hocky thing I wanted to talk about. How do you suspend an entire bowl game? The jackass of a commissioner, Rodger Goodell, wants to suspend the PRO-BOWL because he is unhappy with the amount of competition in the game. I hate to break this to you Commish, but it kind of works the same why in every league. No one ever takes the all star games seriously. With basketball they play no defence and the final score is like 150 to 154. With hockey, they play no defense and the final score is like 8-9 (although that was a regular score in the Pitt vs philly playoff series) and in baseball, probably the most competitive all star game, they play for home field in the world series but still is not the greatest competition.
I love how your the commish but you nor anyone around you can figure this out but here you go. Your never going to be able to fix the game itself because no one wants to get hurt. Same goes for any all star game. But, why do you not take a hint from some of the other sports and run a skills competition the Saturday before, or a redraft of the players school yard style. Basketball has the rookie game, 3 point contest and dunk contest, baseball has the home run derby, hockey has the skills competition and redraft and you have what... guys in Hawaiian shirts... right.
Bottom line is all star sellections are needed and i guess a game is necessary even though it is a washed down version of the game. They just are. Deal with it and stop being a cry baby. and just for the hell of it here is a little hashtag love #WHODAT #USAGAINSTTHEWORLD #GOODELLISADOUCHE #justsayin
