END OF HOCKEY SEASON

It's about time I add something before I forget. It's been a long spring of watching baseball and hockey. Am I the only one who thinks the NHL is getting boring? It's high time to get a new man running the show. Gary has turned my favorite sport into a major snooze-fest. Here's some ideas to bring the NHL back to glory:

1) Let's bag the ugly futuristic uniforms and go retro. When half the teams are wearing black, who needs color television?

2) Let's have more fights! Every real fan likes fights but detests the cheap stick slinging that goes on. Gary's ideas to reduce fighting have only created more cheap shots for retalliation.

3) Let's quit promoting games on television because some bum from Pittsburgh is playing. Everybody knows Sidney couldn't carry Alex's jock strap! (Note to Don Cherry: It seems that some of the flightless birds have now copied some of Ovie's goal celebration moves!)

4) Let's base suspensions on real actions, not the fact that the player got hurt. Maybe some guys from New York should look where they're headed and not where they just passed the puck. One of the first thing's he should've learned as a kid was "Keep your head up!"

5) Let's get back to REASONABLE ticket prices! I can't take great pictures from the nose bleeds or at home from the television.

6) Television? How about not showing the same 4 or 5 teams all the time?

7) Bag the trapezoid. If the goalie comes out he's just like everybody else. If he's a wizard with the puck on his stick, let him play it!

8) If you're gonna have a rule for goaltender interference, make sure it gets called the same for every team by every referee! If you can't do that then just let the goalies take care of it the old school way, with a good wack on the back of the leg!

Thanks to the Hershey Bears for giving me something to cheer about after the second round!

Old time hockey rules!

Enough hockey, I'm now 100% in baseball mode.

I'll be back soon with some baseball rants and raves,

Marshall
