Weekend at Bettman's: Football is Over Edition E-mail

Hockey season is finally upon us. But damn it, weekends exist all year round. And just because the NHL has decided to schedule games on said weekend doesn’t mean our schedules are magically freed up for 24/7 snark. We’ve got basements to clean, and our respective mothers learned everything they know from Mike Keenan. So on Monday mornings, you will get a recap post and a picture of noted thespian Terry Kiser. Enjoy.

Well it's about damn time, Football.

You dominate the sports landscape from Training Camp in August up until now, with your "exciting product" and your "huge television ratings" and your "worldwide appeal."   Well guess what?  When Peyton Manning decided to add Tracy Porter to his cadre of sure-handed receivers, you were put on notice.  That's right.  The world is finished with you and your "interesting athletes" and your "riveting storylines."  Nay.  Across the world, people saw that 14 point lead and changed the channel, as if it were some sort of public referendum.  People everywhere saying to the National Football League "we're done with you forever.  We have hockey to watch."

Absolutely.

So the NHL is ready for you, world.  When the NFL took its ball and went home for dinner, Hockey is still ready to play.  Welcome.

You know, until we pull the same stunt next Sunday for the Olympics.

Bruins 3, Canadiens 0 - Boston snaps their 37-game losing streak by employing former MYFO editor Rask in net.

Capitals 5, Penguins 4 - Note to Dan Bylsma:  Maybe you're going to want to put a body on that Ovechkin guy.  He might end up being pretty good.

Avalanche 3, Oilers 0 - That clinches it.  Edmonton are probably going to be sellers come Trade Deadline.

Sharks 4, Predators 3 - Is it possible that Team Canada's medal hopes hinge on a trio of forwards who play hockey in freaking San Jose, California?

Wild 2, Flyers 1 - Rookie Anton Khudobin celebrated his 38-save effort with a delicious order of Fajita Ranchera Burritos.
