there are six men on the ice

Yesterday's Wings game was a bit of a disappointment. First off, props to the Penguins. They played well...okay, they played better than the Wings did. And, shit, I hate Crosby as much as the next guy, but you have to admit that he's talented. He just so happens to be the world biggest crybaby too. But had the referee's been paying any attention whatsoever, they would have picked up on some of the things happening on the ice, i.e. SIX MEN BEING ON THE ICE FOR WELL OVER 20 SECONDS. And they didn't call it. The usual bullshit, accompanied by NBC's terrible commentators (the Nothing But Crosby Network), made for a hell of a game. On the plus side, the Wings will be back on their toes for game 4, kill the Pens, and come home to win the cup. Here's an interesting note written by my buddy Justin. I enjoyed it: "Why I hate Crosby, NBC, and Gary Bettman" First of all, I have nothing against the talent that Crosby does have but there are a few things that i need to vent casue i am pissed for a couple reasons. WE all know that NBC broadcasts "Noting But Crosby" and it is getting quite old. I found out that Garry Bettman, CEO of the NHL, who i was starting to take a liking to because of how he handled Phoenix's bankruptcy issue, has spent over Five Million in advertisements to promote this "getting revenge" type commercials on NBC telling the fans that this is Crosby's year to shine and win the cup. Yes he is a skilled player but COME ON!! I haven't heard anyone talk about how the last time a team has gone back to back champs by facing the same team twice hasn't happened since 1978 by Montreal. Of course not, why would NBC or Bettman want to promote anything positive about the Redwings when we have some media whore like Crosby. Then i got to thinking of why Bettman has this "Pro-Pit" attitude and of course it comes down to how much money is in his pocket. Think about how much we all hate the fact that Crosby is who he is. He has a huge fan base all across the world and that is all thanks to the media blowing his beardless face up for everyone to worship. If Bettman was to have ads running on NBC about Zetty and Paval or Ozzie going got back to back cups, he would have less money coming in from ticket sales and jerseys and ratings compared to Crosby ads. It is a smart move financially, but we are all very fortunate to live in the time that we do because the Redwings are true sports dynasty that doesn't seem to stop growing and the media, NBC, is doing a great job of neglecting this fact. With that said, casue i am getting even more pissed spending my time typing this out, I have one last thing to rant about. NBC and Ray "Doc" Emerick, bald guy with glasses who screams like a 5 year old when Crosby touches the puck, felt that it was necessary to inform the viewers @ home about where Crosby was sitting on the bench when Talbot scored the second goal. WTF does that have to do with the ongoing play. I know you all have listened to at least one bullshit Crosby name drop in a game but this is getting old. Away from the skill aspect of the playoffs, this isn't a entertaining playoffs when it comes to the broadcast it self because of this simple map. Crosby is a lil bitch and loves the media cause of his age and people have said that he will break Gretzky records. NOT GONNA HAPPEN EVER! Emerick works for NBC and he cant stop talking about Crosby cause he is getting paid top dollar from the NBC heads. NBC is getting a shit ton of money from Garry Bettman cause the simple fact that he will make more money off of Crosby than the wings in advertisements.... In short, This is all Garry Bettmans fault. I am done, pissed, and really mad @ the refs for their piss poor performance in game 3 (6 MEN ON THE ICE FOR 26 SECONDS... No Too many men call.) and I hope that this informed you somewhat cause i have lost focus on why i started making this. lol Wings in 5!
