Anyone else watching the outdoor Winter Classic game?
Totally SWEET! :nodQuote:

What really bothered me though, was the Sidney Crosby ass kissing party put on by NBC. If you didn't know hockey and just happened to tune in, you would think that there is no one else worth watching. He's good, we get it. Enough already. How about promoting some other guys in the league if you're trying to build a fan base?
It's better than hearing about the (in my opinion) self-centered narcassitic butt Jordan Tootoo.. Yuck!
Crosby is great, but I agree. The promotion of him is being far over done. Though it hasn't boostered Crosby's ego, it's sure inflated his father's.
:yay Canada's going for GOLD :yay
Exact same thing happened at my school when we got Kyle Turris. Hockey is a team sport. Some players are amazing, but it's not like they can feed themselves the puck.Quote:

The fastest skater comp was a mess, the times were completely screwed up. They should go back to a lap, but have skaters go one at a time and have them choose which direction they want to go in.
The judging thing at the end was possibly the worst idea ever. You could tell the players were confused and didn't know whether to try and score or go for style points. Dominique and that actor kid had no idea what was going on, and it showed.
I usually look forward to this more than the game, but it was such a disappointment. By trying to make it better, they only made it worse.
It was a bitter disappointment. Bettman's not winning himself any favours.
