The Sports Guy scores another one!

Another Simmons beauty. Here's two great quotes but read the entire article when you get a chance.

"Every minute of playoff hockey brings another potential scoring chance, another potential screw-up or tipped shot, another shot off the goal post, another three-on-two rush. For the fans, it's an exhausting experience, a constant battle between "Uh-oh, this is good" and "Uh-oh, this is bad" and by the end of the games, you're just a puddle."

"Hockey should never have more than 22 teams, and half those teams should be playing in Canada, where it's the national sport and the citizens truly care about the game. It's the only way to bring the sport back -- rivalries, bad blood, back-to-back games and everything else -- and as soon as they jettison a few franchises and move a few others back to Canada, I could see caring about the league again. You know, as long as the Bruins are sold."

Simmons did a an awesome live blog on the 2007 entry draft last June.

Both of these articles make me crave for him to find his love of hockey again and write more regularly on the NHL.
