i am saying that it was said that such a penalty disparity was UNPRECEDENTED in the NHL. so however bad they are, they are WORSE this time out.

Pardon me for getting on the NHL soapbox, but here goes:

I am tired of Detroit … I am tired of “Hockeytown” (there are many other cities that can better claim that title) … I am tired of the “Red Wings Game of the Week” on NBC.

I am tired of the lack of a real reward for teams who bust their butt to excel during the regular season … whether it’s byes, extra home games, or Wins-in-hand during the playoffs, I don’t know.

I am tired of “veiled” preferences to selected teams & markets during the playoffs, e.g. when the refs swallow the whistles.

I have had it with sudden-death overtime where the rule is a pin-ball outcome rather than the exception … Play the OT’s to fixed periods i.e. every 10 minutes, the second goal seals it.

I am EXTREMELY tired with being on the outside looking in … And this last point IN NO WAY colors my opinions heretofore expressed. ;-)
