That's true.

[RiotAct]

tonight is the worry button for me.
blew our chances to be up 2-0.
need to see some improvement in the PP and defense
have to imagine we'll break even and go 1-1 in pitt

[TMoore4075]

McLellan out in SJ. Edmonton or TO would be my top places I see him going.

This one has been taken down.

EPSN will probably talk about this now and ignore the actual hockey that's been going on.

[Roose13]

Fuck the Islanders. They deserve all their misery after that read.

I want the Avs to focus solely on their D-corps this offseason. But if they were to go after a forward, Abdelkader would be near the top of my list.

This (what the Rangers do) along with so many other things that could go down this offseason, has me looking forward to it.

I was listening to noted Pittsburgh talk dude Stan Savran earlier, and he had Mike Greenberg on. Stan asked Mike point blank about ESPN (and Mike & Mike specifically) refusing to talk about hockey. Greenberg of course balked at the question, saying no one at ESPN orders them to not talk about hockey, he likes the game and even had hockey topics on his run sheet this morning (that conveniently he did not get to ). It's laughable.

Anyway, as to the topic at hand, I'd say most teams have their share of absolute shit fans that are black eyes to the fanbases. Sports fandom in general seems to attract those types of people. Clearly not all Isles fans are twats, as Salrx seems to be a stand-up gentleman. But come on, people, sporting events are supposed to be fun for everyone involved. There's no need for assault and vandalism. (And if it's true that some Isles fans abused a young disabled Caps fan in an Ovechkin jersey, that's just disgusting.)

ESPN knows about hockey?

[unccrombie]

every now and then tim cowlishaw says something (odd, especially since he's in TX). I feel like cowlishaw would bring it up more often in facetime if it gained a following. he seems to want to talk hockey

PTI has had hockey in the top 5 segments, but typically with Tony backing Melrose and Wilbon being Wilbon

They pretend to or they just talk about the dirty plays that happen. I understand the NHL doesn't rank real high on ESPN's list but if a dirty play happens, you know they'll about it. A great goal? No.

Hey I'm the only Wings fan in here and I know it, but still have to talk about them. lol And I knew Matty might care cause he's a fan of Abby.
