First of all I think when ESPN covers the game they do a wonderful job, but
last night I felt the same way. I really hate watching Devils/Pens game.
Everyone knows that Devils are going to get their ass kicked, why even
bother showing them. I was so bored and these ESPN people don't seem to have
any brain. After the Sundays and last night games, they are still going to
show Devils/Pens on THU and SUN. WHat the hell are they thinking about? I
think if they keep it up like this NHL will never get a major network contract.
I'd rather see Caps/Isls game which is more exciting.
Now I just hope all baseball games are rained out on ESPN so atleast
we can get diffrent hockey games.
