I don't have many complaints about the NHL,

but a top complaint for me is that things don't start when they say it will.
In soccer, more often than not a 5pm start means the game is one minute in at 5:01.
In the NHL 7pm start means the puck drops at 7:17 or later.

I love how Bettman accepts booing

This is known in the business as Random Standard Time.

I'm trying to sue the NHL for violating my trademark, but for some reason I'm getting very little traction so far.

Why the mic on the Sharks fan?

[Engine09]

Haha, that screaming lunatic is singlehandedly ruining the show. His voice was already cracking, he's done and so are the Sharks anyways.

Who else is left with any top 10 skills? At this point you want guys that do at least one thing great.

[EldrickOnIce]

Kivi?

[ComixZone]

Stiga gone.

I'm still hoping for Eemil Vinni at 62. I like that goalie.

...if Kiviharju is there though?
