NHL Schedules

Who is the commish of the NHL?

Anybody…. Anybody…. Anybody?

If you said Barry Melrose then you better shave off that mullet and turn off ESPN.

Cause what they are doing with the scheduling is ridiculous. They are losing their mind. A marquee matchup between Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby should be put on a pedestal. They should build it up. It should become a matchup that touches the hockey fan in us all.

But instead they put the games at the exact wrong time.

Super Bowl Sunday. Check.

NCAA Women’s Title Game. Check.

Only super ferocious, die hard, toothless, Canadians are watching these games at these times. Don’t you want to expand your fan base? Don’t you want some kind in any town in America to sit cross legged in awe in front of his TV? Don’t you want kids to look up to these real life gladiators? Don’t you want a kid begging mother nature to freeze the pond down the street so he can go play pond hockey?

Come on Commissioner Gary Bettman, figure it out, unleash the inner David Stern in you.
