By Aaron Holm -
Is anybody going to watch this madness? I mean actually watch it and not just have it on as background noise while you take down your Christmas tree while nursing a new years hangover because you thought the night before, "Tequila sounds fun"? Two things folks, Tequila is always without exception, a bad idea, and watching the Boston Bruins play in any arena or stadium has got to be considered torture. Who wants to watch Brad Marchand's stupid face not getting punched for 60 minutes? Not this guy!
The saving grace about this whole outdoor spectacle is that on New Years Eve-day there will be a NWHL vs CWHL game between the Boston Pride and Les Canadiennes. Even this however cannot be done without some measure of controversy. Now I can certainly understand the beef, the NHL acts like they are doing the ladies a favor and turn around and say media time with the boys will be during the ladies game. It is pretty shitty, and I'm far more interested in watching the ladies game than the boys. They still have time to adjust the timing, so maybe if we all write Gary Bettman and the NHL's media department a firm but fair letter they will reconsider and make a schedule change. (Holding your breath is optional, but not recommended)
No, I'm not going to start discussing trade rumors. Plenty of other people have weighed in on that and I don't much feel like tossing my hat in there to get lost. I'll just leave it at, it will take a miracle, so don't hold your breath.
