Spandrel Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 ...the NHL will be unable to showcase what is likely to be the best series of the Playoffs this year to a national audience on NBC. As great as this series is/will be and as much as Bettman would love to get this product out to the masses via network TV, his efforts are being thwarted by this insipid overpriced carnival on ice. Yay, for over-indulgent moms with functional haircuts and their spoiled little kids! $75 to see some hack skaters frolic around in oversized foam heads, where does the line start? :angry: As great as last night's game was, it was only preaching to the choir while it was stuck on OLN. You show that game to most casual sports fans, and you'll get a few of them who will tune in for Game 2 on Sunday on NBC (errr, I mean Monday night on OLN, if they can find it). :angry: [/rant off] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After last night, I don't see this as a bad thing... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 dora is a huge advantage for the sabres. They weren't given much of a chance, and they came in and absolutely humiliated the senators and ray emery... They'll have plenty to think about and practice over while the sabres do the same thing, only with confidence and a 1-0 series lead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spandrel Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 That is true. I'm sure the Senators, more than anyone, want to get back on the ice as soon as possible and get this game behind them, so the extra day just lets them stew another day. Still, the NHL is getting deprived of a chance to show off the best example of its "new" game because of this scheduling conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spandrel Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I grew up in Fairport and still live here. Ever hang at the FVI, or T-Foots? Nice. I sometimes go into the village, but ever since they built the MacGregor's I go there for the beer specials. We also go to Baird Road Pub to watch games. It's a nice place. Man, this morning sucked here. My son had hockey practice over at TCIA from 8-9 then we had to run over to Martha Brown and stand in the freezing rain to watch my daughter's lacrosse game. And I'm still hung over from watching the game last night a little bit. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football season was actually warmer than lacrosse. He just played his last collegiate game, maybe he'll get a sniff from the MLL or the NLL. Nice.

I have gone to BRP for Sox games but that's about it. I used to go there a lot (like every night, before it actuallly became the BRP) but the service was sucky so we transplanted to T-Foots. MacGregor's is kinda on the other side of Fpt so we didn't make it over there too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
