Maybe they're all Mets fans?

RE: my own personal satistfaction: I'd also like to cite my favorite moment from last year. Rangers-Isles. Don't remember the commentators, but this was the comment, verbatim, RE: Why Rangers fans boo Tom Poti (the actual reason: he was not very good):

"You know, it's strange, because he's a Yankees fan..."

The comment tailed off like he was going to somehow relate it to something, but he never did. Which is probably because it's not relatable to anything ever. Not even Sidney Crosby's clothing line.

PS:

I do not care about Sidney Crosby's clothing line. I will not be upset if the shirt does not come in orange. Please cut back to the game, which is going on right now and I can't see it.


Seriously, the Crosby orgy is just ridiculous.

RE: Camerawork

Dear director/producer/cameramen who are obviously not watching the game:

I do not want a closeup of Sidney Crosby's face on the bench when, you know, there's actually play going on in my team's offensive zone. I'd like to see the game. You do this 7-15 times per game, so I thought I'd just let you know you should stop.

Sincerely,

Act

Force of habit?

Mike Emrick, I think, remarking on the Rangers' early-season woes:

"They have too good players to be playing like this, and with that payroll, too!"

...what payroll? Everyone has the same payroll. The same thing could be said about Long Island. Or Chicago. Or Florida.

Later, the analyst (Ahlers, I think) definitely asked Emrick what qualified as a shot. Our analyst had to seriously ask if hitting the post counted as a shot.
