Waiting For The Day

As a hockey fan I am waiting for the day:
-when a great play has just been made and I don’t have to find the ref on TV to see if his arm is raised.
-Datsyuk involved in a shootout.
-A Bobby Baun style hip check at the blueline, and another and another.
-A 5 on 3 goal with a stick to stick to stick goal.
-When the NHL removes the coincidental penalty call.
-The Red Wings actually admit they are not selling out all of their home games.
-A goalie brawl.
-Jaques Demers tossing his glasses on the ice again.
-An update on ‘Vladdy’.
-Brett Hull in the studio at OLN.
-Don Cherry interviewing Alex Ovechkin.
-The AVS TV play by play man giving credit to the other team.
-A new design for the Zamboni.
-Stan Fischler and Bob Goodenow have lunch together.

I agree with most, how about a diving call and no penalty to the other guy.

I hate not being confident that a play will stand. I have grown too accustomed to referees taking back goals, big gains, touchdowns, etc. with marginal calls. Last year, so many goals were waved off early in Michigan State’s season, that when I am at Munn always look to see if the referee is signalling goal before celebrating.

Also. Do you have a source that says that the Wings are not selling out their games or is that just speculation? The articles I have read mention nothing about the Wings not selling out, although the Detroit media is rarely critical of the Red Wings and probably would never report something like that.

PRS,
I am working on it. However, it is known the Wings have been giving away some tickets to games to satisfy some season ticket holders.
The Wings will continue with their marketing themes, but you wonder if there really is a 14,000 person waiting list for season tickets as they say.

For your “The AVS TV play by play man giving credit to the other team. ” comment, you could keep going on that one. You should listed to the Sens broadcast some time… have some sharp objects ready to poke yourself with. But you have to realize that most of the loacl broadcast guys are employees of the team NOT the station they are on

I live in Denver, I support the local club, but I loath the local coverage. Pure Homerism taken to the DOHth degree. Horrible.
Also, for every question Cherry asks, Ovechkin should get to perform one hard bodycheck before answering.
Good stuff. Thanks for the laugh.
