Versus, The Penguins, and The Stars

Wow, well that didn't take long.

A good demonstration of how Versus is really the Sidney Crosby Network (if you can't tell): when I was sitting in a bar in my hotel in PA watching the Flyers/Caps game 7, one of the guys sitting next to me was a salesman from Pittsburgh, who was a Pens fan with money on the game. No gambler wants to ever believe there is any type of fixing small or big in any professional game, on any level. Well, he just loves Versus, as I'm sure any Penguins fan feels like they're watching their home broadcast. I couldn't believe I was listening to this guy try to defend that network, but only for about 30 seconds when he had to concede he didn't know why he liked it, admitting that they do dumb down the game, "but isn't that a good thing?" No, it isn't. No one, and I mean NO ONE who is a full time hockey fan likes Vs. unless you happen to be a fan of one of teams they happen to love and fall all over one another to support. Some fans may be indifferent, but Versus is so anti-hockey I can imagine Canadians must want to pull their ears off if they're forced to watch these idiots. Seriously, if you're a hockey lover and you love Versus, please email me and let me know what they fuck is wrong with you. I turned the sound down until we scored in the first, because I just can't take the fucking worship. I wonder how many times these guys have had "Sid the Kid's" (what a fucking stupid nickname) dick in their mouth. Today.

Now that the Pens have scored, I'm turning it back down.

If this is how the games are going to be called, I won't be watching the whole series. Especially since I'm forced to eat it by watching Versus. Way to ruin a sport, you fucking pieces of shit (Just for the record I wrote this as the penalty was called, before the douche scored). Blechhh, that's all I can say.

Sharks/Stars
This is going to be a long series, as it's a very similar situation to Calgary, except The Stars are better overall team. But these two teams truly hate and know each other, which will show with every period played. I know The Stars get breaks, but that doesn't mean we can't beat them, and I'll only get really angry when the calls they let go start getting dangerous for my guys, and they will. With the Pens series, I can't watch the uneven shit. I can't watch my guys obviously get hacked on the hands in the offensive zone, negating a scoring opportunity, only to be called for a cheap call in the defensive zone. I can't watch the NHL hand Crosby the East.

Another late penalty called, after all the other shit they've let go, hmmmm. I think I should post my predictions and put money on them. At least that way as my guys are getting fucked I am at least making money off their misfortunes.

END OT
What a fucking way to start the second round. My neck was already completely stiff on one side, now my shoulders are in my ears. I'm getting myself a glass of wine, and getting in the fucking hot tub.

And that last line about putting money on their misfortunes was sarcastic, as is about 75% of what I write.
