HOCKEY IS A GREAT GAME…
IT MUST BE TO SURVIVE THE WAY THE NHL HAS MANAGED IT OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS…
TONIGHT THE LEAGUE WILL HAND OUT ITS AWARDS…
THE STAR OF THE SHOW WILL BE ALEXANDER OVECHKIN…WHO WILL CERTAINLY WIN THE HART TROPHY AS THE PLAYER CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST VALUABLE TO HIS TEAM…
IT SHOULD READ…THE MOST VALUABLE TO HIS LEAGUE…
SIDNEY CROSBY MAY BE THE FACE OF THE NHL…BUT OVECHKIN IS THE PLAYER WHO GETS YOU OUT OF YOUR SEAT…
THINK ABOUT IT…
WHEN IT COMES TO TEAM SPORTS…IS THERE ANOTHER ATHLETE OUT THERE WHO MEANS MORE TO HIS SPORT???
THERE’S TOM BRADY IN FOOTBALL…DEREK JETER IN BASEBALL…DAVID BECKHAM IN SOCCER…AND KOBE IN BASKETBALL…
ALL OF THEM ARE BIGGER STARS THAT OVECHKIN…AND ALL OF THEM PLAY ON A MUCH BIGGER STAGE…
BUT ASK YOURSELF THIS…
WOULD YOU STOP WATCHING MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IF BRADY RETIRED???
THE BIGGEST SPORTS NAME ON THE PLANET IS TIGER WOODS…
IF TIGER IS NOT PLAYING THIS WEEKEND AT THE U.S. OPEN….ARE YOU WATCHING???
OF COURSE NOT…
BUT GOLF IS NOT A TEAM SPORT…
TIGER DOES NOT PLAY EVERY THIRD SHIFT…OVECHKIN DOES…
NOW CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE MOST EXCITING PLAYER IN THE GAME DID NOT PLAY IN EVERY ARENA IN THE NHL LAST SEASON…AND WHY HE WILL NOT PLAY IN EVERY ARENA IN NHL NEXT SEASON???
NOT SINCE GRETZKY IN THE 80’S HAS THE NHL ENJOYED THIS KIND OF STAR POWER…
ALSO UP FOR THE HART ARE JAROME IGINLA AND EVGENI MALKIN…AND THE ONLY REASON CROSBY IS MISSING IS BECAUSE OF AN ANKLE INJURY…
IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER…
CHECK OUT THE NOMINEES FOR THE CALDER…
NICKLAS BACKSTROM…PATRICK KANE AND JONATHAN TOEWS…
IN A WEEK FROM NOW THE NHL WILL HOLD IT’S ENTRY DRAFT…
SAY HELLO TO STEVEN STAMKOS…AND NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE JOHN TAVARAS…
IN THE PAST WHEN THE LEAGUE HAS BEEN ON THIS KIND OF A ROLL…THEY’VE CANCELLED THE SEASON…
BUT DO NOT FEAR HOCKEY FANS…NOT EVEN THE NHL CAN SCREW THIS UP…
