It was six days ago when the Bruins beat the Canucks for the Stanley Cup but I think there has been more hockey shit on the radio and tv since then than at any time throughout the season. Coverage of the riot, panel discussions about the riot, the parade in Boston, panel discussions about the parade in Boston and on and on and on. Give it a rest. It's the first day of god damn summer and in this country you can't get away from hockey.
I went out for a ride tonight and when I get home and turned the tv on it was tuned to TSN and guess what's on. What else, the same group of morons I been watching for the last friggin century it seems like. And guess what the show was about? No sane person ever could. It was a mock draft as in some so called experts give their opinions on what order the incoming junior players will be drafted. That's right, speculation by a group of manglers of the english language on what might happen 3 days from now if Sagittarius is in the fifth moon of Johnny Bower during an eclipse. And do you know what constitutes an expert nowadays? All it takes is one arse to say he's an expert and then find someone stupid enough to agree with him. Presto! An expert is born.
It's like today's news reports. Half of it isn't news, it's reporting on the comments of a so called expert (an arse who found someone stupid enough to agree that he is) who has decided that oil prices might go up in the next year unless of course they don't go up. It's fucking madness and I have no idea how this shit has become newsworthy but I suppose there is so much time to fill and so much media trying to justify their existence that just about anything can become news.
That being said the mock hockey draft has come to an end on TSN and the show following is, wait for it....... drum roll please............Hockey 2 nite. Give me the strength to not throw a brick through the tv in hopes of hitting Pierre MacGuire, the mouth that never shuts the fuck up. And what the hell is with 2 nite? Is it possible to misspell a word any worse than that. Damn!
Finally, a good hockey rant! I knew you had one in you.
