It's fun...I wouldn't mind feeling her pain either.<br /><br />It's funny you should mention "playoff non-sellouts" in this blog post, as <A HREF="http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Playoff-non-sellouts-Signs-of-larger-trouble-or?urn=nhl,158865" REL="nofollow">Puck Daddy stole your idea and posted about it a mere 1/2 hour later.</A> Wyksynksynkshynskyhnkski, you stink! <br /><br />NHL attendance figures are self-reported so it's all smoke and mirrors anyway. But at The Rock most of the empty seats are the $250 (are you kidding?!) lower level black seats, most of which are already paid for by corporate entities. The cheapies where the real fans hang out are nearly always sold out--but those aren't the ones that you see on camera during the entire game, unfortunately. <br /><br />I'm probably the first to say this, but I actually like the job VERSUS does with hockey, esp. the "Hockey Central" intermission show (though their HD picture quality is lacking). Except for Panger, all of the NHL on NBC commentators are Americans (even Jersey's own Pierre McGuire, though I'm not sure what exit).<br /><br />Did I say I didn't enjoy fantasy hockey? As the French say, au to the contrary! I just happened to focus on the negative (as always), but I thoroughly whipping your ass. (Actually, NO HOMERS were a thorn in my side all year, so I was glad we met in the finals and gladder that I won in a close race. The taste of victory is sweet and malty, with a peaty aftertaste.)Jeff Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374266932485360115noreply@blogger.com
