jad1 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Is TSN awarding the Stanley Cup? That's the only post-season award I'm concerned with! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 So Lindy Ruff and Jay McKee don't count? :unsure: I understand what you're saying about McKee but with Ruff his name was mentioned only in context of his nomination for the Jack Adams award.

topshelfcookies Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Dude...chill out. Ruff is getting kudos from lots of media outlets, and that's fine. TSN is going to give cred to whomever they like, and keep in mind that it is a Canadian station, and will have a slight bias towards those players/teams. It's no big deal really. Besides, TSN probably has the most reliable and in-depth hockey coverage of any other major website (cnnsi, cbs.sportsline, espn etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Dude...chill out. Ruff is getting kudos from lots of media outlets, and that's fine.

Besides, TSN probably has the most reliable and in-depth hockey coverage of any other major website (cnnsi, cbs.sportsline, espn etc...) The thing is, if SJ beats the Oilers and Buffalo beats the Sens, Buffalo probably becomes TSN's "favorites" by virtue of being the only team located within 500 miles of Canada. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, because their "support" hasn't brought much luck up to this point in time. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfcookies Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I agree...and I think the same thing happens with CBC. Buffalo has a lot of key players on our team that are Canadian, including Ruff and Regier and everyone in the Canuck media is fawning all over Briere and Roy anyways. Buffalo is one of the only US cities where fans truly appreciate the GAME of hockey, not just the hometown team, and I think most Canadians respect that.

Knightrider Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 There is probably a Leaf > Canadian > American team bias, but these aren't good examples. They choose the Carolina team's coach over Ruff. BTW, I'd've expected them to choose the Habs coach. He didn't even make the short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 :blush: Oops...my bad about McKee. I wasn't wearing my glasses. But Ruff ought to be Coach of the year...hands down. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
