Well folks…I’m at a crossroads in my sports watching future.
I started watching the Oilers with Gretzky and company and never really stopped except for a couple of partial seasons during the decade of darkness. Additionally, I’ve only missed a handful of games during McDavid’s career with the Oilers.
However, I’m not sure I actually enjoy watching “Bettman’s” NHL. This final series is an absolute f’n joke in how it is being “managed” by the officials! If Bettman truly believes that the way to grow hockey is to allow the non-stop infractions against highly skilled players and allow cheap shot artist’s and 4th liners to rule the day well the game will continue to stagnate and never grow into something better. All penalties should be called against either team when they occur. Not just when it suits the refs/league.
Kudos to Maurice and Florida they figured it out long ago…they know the refs will not call every infraction so they just continue to be greasy, dirty and play a version of hockey that they can get away with but is just hard to watch for many fans including me.
I don’t believe any other pro sport allows its best players to take more abuse than the NHL does. It’s just sad…just make the refs call all the infractions as they see them against both teams period and stop the “game management”!
I may have to wean myself off the game slowly since it has been 40+ years of watching my team but honestly it is just too hard to watch these days.
I hope they can somehow be the 2nd team? ever to come back from being 3-0 down but they will likely do it without me watching.
I’ll think about it over the summer but I really think this may be the last time I purposely watch an NHL hockey game unless something drastic changes like it did after the last lock out when thy tried to get rid of all of the clutching and grabbing shenanigans.
I’ve enjoyed stopping by here since 2005 even though I don’t post much anymore. Good luck to you all and Go Oilers!
