What pisses me off is that the NHL picks up the tab, it's free marketing for the Pens while the rest of the league starves.
How many times were the Montréal Canadiens in the NHL.com's Frozen moment? How many times is NHL.com's "game of the night" some south of the border crapfest and neglacts the battles fought in Alberta and Ontario?
Why is there gonna be an heritage game between Pittsburgh and Buffalo? These two teams have nearly nothing close to true Heritage. If they wanted it to market the game to the USA I think the Rangers and Red wings, or even better the Rangers and Islanders.
And Tavares is being held up to juniors in my opinion because he'll make Crosby look like nothing when he gets to the pros hence rendering the whole Crosby marketing pointless.
I'm sick and tired of having that Princess's face everywhere, maybe if he stopped faking so much on the ice it would piss me a little bit less.
Oh and dropping yourself to one knee to shoot the puck isn't the same as being pulled down to the ice then making the shot.
I'm just scared that they'll pull some marketing crap on crosby during the Winter classic to emulate Theodore's tuque during the Heritage in Edmunton.
Also hockey's a team sport and they need to start marketing it as such.
I'm tired of players playing for the name off the back of their Jersey's and seeing the crest in front as a Liability, it all started when Gretzky left for L.A. and I'm still pissed at that.
