We always give the sport of hockey a bad rap…Sure the NHL brass are like Kindergarten Cops when in comes to marketing and promoting the sport. Sure the games, (aside from Sundays on NBC beginning the second week in January) are televised with an analog signal and nobody can get them without their boob tubes blowing major gaskets. Who’s tried to hold All-Star games in the middle of the week…The list of nightmares this league has made is longer than Pacman Jones’s wrap sheet.
Still, if you ask anybody about the game of hockey, to a man they say it’s a great game to watch. Especially those who reside in places like Wyoming where there’s absolutely shit to do! In towns where minor league hockey is it, hockey gives the people to come out of their homes and join the human race for at least a little while. Aside from having a reason to join civilization at least for a few hours, these folks are just like any others who attend hockey games…They come hoping to see a fight. As we all known there’s nothing like a knock-down, drag out on the ice!
Attendees for the Corpus Christi Ice Rays and the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs had their wet dreams ultimately come to true…As they witness a classic hockey brawl, (yes, brawl, not fight) getting their money worth for in excess three plus minutes! Roll it…
Love the goalies thinking they’re Michelle Kwan circling each other as they map out a game plan in their head! "Should I come with the jab, the upper cut, or the left hook?" Love That! Not to get lost in all this is the play-by-play man…I was thinking has more spunk than Gus Johnson, (Gus, you better take a double shot of 5-hour energy if you want to be on this cat level! Having the ability to flip a switch to go from hockey play-by play dude to a ring side announcer. For the next Holyfield fight, (and we all know there’s going to be one) this cat needs to call it! And definitely look for the catch phrase "Gooning It Up" in the hockey broadcast inner circle!
