from Pamela Barone at NBC Sports,
While three professional sports leagues sit embroiled in scandal, we hockey fans can sit back and laugh. Steroids? Nope. Point-shaving? Don’t think so. Dog fighting? We’re talking about Canadians, here. Sure, there aren’t many of us these days. But maybe these latest headlines will be enough to convert some disgruntled fans of the so-called big three. If not—who cares? We know why the NHL is the best professional sports league. Just in case, though, I thought I would take this time to review some of the reasons.

Wait a minute… in the last year in the NHL there was a career-ending gambling scandal, at least one failed steroid test and a record length suspension for on-ice violence. Maybe the problems aren’t as large or widespread, but I don’t think the NHL can fairly claim to be innocent. Less guilty relative to other leagues doesn’t make you a saint based on some of the stuff I’ve heard about.
