I whack it every day/night and I dont have a article written about my Whacking episodes.???????????????roastcoffee said:Before the Tonya Harding incident, women's skating wasn't anywhere near as big as it is now. After an infamous whack whack whack, the ratings went through the roof.
With the leading scorer just barely able to get 41 goals, how can hockey possibly interest the American sports fans looking for action clips?
I'll have to disagree on a few points.johnnyhandsome said:Sorry but I'm inclined to agree with this article.
PROBLEMS:
You can barely see the puck on TV.
Games are too low scoring nowadays compared to the 80's.
Too much emphasis on defence.
Game Rules that seem to change every year (crease rule...etc).
Too much hitting.
Too much senseless fighting.
Some very dirty cheap shots that have resulted in near paralysis or career-ending injuries.
The NHL expanded to too many cities (and villages).
Way too many regular season games.
Too many teams make the playoffs.
The season carries on too late into the summer (spring).
