The Nhl Fails Me

I have given up. I have come back to bask in your glow and you have kicked my ass out again. So I say screw you, Mr fricking NHL. GO >>>> Yourself!

I don't want to see you anymore. You changed the rules on me...again..on everybody...too many times. I am done with you. I want to shoot you......I loved you. I thought you had changed....this time for the good.....forever.

I have already sent out word that I never want to see you again. It only took one call. You can't come in anymore. I don't believe you anymore. One day you say it's in, the next day you say it isn't......but everyone knows the two were the same...so why you getting so bossy on one and not the other?....Why?

I watch your friends and they all do better. I mean the real ones....like Horse Racing. Now there's a sport to behold. You didn't think there would be any extra time on the stage of America.... and the world would be left with the decision of wanting to see you play extra time or some horse race.. and some billionaire dudes getting richer and richer...... and the viewers of the NHL game in the states wondering why the fuck the NHL insists on having their weiners pulled around for them by American National TV? I am fine. I got to see the end of my team today on the CBC. RIP Sabres 2007....RIP

But, NHL, oh my fallen NHL. The truest loser of the day.A league so awful that my only comparison is Boxing. How did Boxing get so beaten down? Easy actually, they had just greed and no direction. So, when the sport was drowning in itself, nobody came to give it a hand of help. The ones who were making big cash off Boxing never wanted anyone else to get in with them and was able to run the sport deep into the ground. There are some fabulous legends of Boxing that have hit the top levels in the history of the sport...but they are no longer celebrated as once before. Boxing, as a business, is an awful mess. The opportunity for improvement, if ever taken on as a project, is massive.

The NHL doesn't compare a whole lot to Boxing, though they do have equally ugly events on their playing fields at times. But when it comes to silly decisions and direction...the NHL reminds me a ton of Boxing.

For instance:

What the hell is Game 5 doing being played on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon?.....WHAT?.....Americans like to watch a playoff hockey game on their tv indoors on a hot sunny Saturday afternoon?????????.....That is why Canadians must change their usual hours for such things to the afternoon. Here is the non-thinking and lack of respect that the NHL has for their fans....We will play games on saturday nights for our whole regular season but when the big games are played, and the weather outside is gorgeous...screaming for you to get out in it....we will show that game during the afternoon. Makes sense...A real fricking thinker there.

If I can't see the puck in the net when looking at the replay and the ref said it wasn't then the goal is not to be allowed......but if I see a puck knock off of a glove and the ref says its in and I probably can't be sure that he 100% meant to hit it in with his glove let alone prove out the requirement of it being a delibrate motion..then...no goal

What?

And we are going to call ticky tac infractions to make it a 5-3 advantage for the hell of it.....And we are going to call penalties on making a good hard hit.....and we will call none on hooking and holding ...and we will allow hits from behind now....unless you break your neck....

You bite Bettman. Quit. Let someone else take it back to the fan...again......and this time leave it there. The scores are coming down, the excitement is coming down. Defense and special teams is again the tonic. I drank too much of that shit before and got all sick. I don't want no more.

See you in a couple of years...take a picture of my finger...cuz you aint gonna see it for a long time.
