All-Purpose Hockey Thread II

Robert Randolph will probably be the best part of this whole All Star thing.

 

God, the woman who sang the Canadian national anthem was brutal. She even made up some of her own music

 

I'm not a hockey expert but I know my anthems. Those sucked.

To quote Bart Simpson, the singers managed to both suck and blow.

 

They've played more defense in 45 seconds tonight than all last night.

 

I've heard better at a junior game, that's for sure.

 

Why couldn't they get Garth Brooks or someone with a little more sizzle to sing the national anthem? Little things like this is why this league is still in such sad shape.

And the new jerseys? Ghey.

 

We don't have audio up (office TV sucks it).

Was that Chuck Norris?

 

.
Garth and Trisha entertained the players on Monday night. We get junk.

 

I think it's great that the league dug out the 1992 Washington Capitals' sweaters for the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

 

That was indeed Chuck Norris. "Who once had a division named after him?" Doc jokes with Engblom, never providing an explanation to fans who might not have any clue what he's talking about.

Seriously, if the league wants to avoid alienating new fans they have to do away with stuff like that. Corny jokes that only true hockey fans a certain age will understand are not appropriate on a national broadcast.

 

Way not to have someone talking hockey. Instead, Chuck Norris can hype the Combat Sports League, a lesser version of UFC. Great. Great.

 

You guys get Chuck Norris. We get Bettman.
