Some of these are funny. Some are dumb.

5. The opportunity to relive the joy of rooting against a seemingly indestructible foe dressed in red. (The fate of the entire world is in your young, delicate hands, Mr. Crosby!)

Wow, the bias we all know and love. Red Wings continue with the evil empire and crush the Pens!

First espn article I have enjoyed in a long time.

I like this one:

"The opportunity to get in early on the big new thing: NHL hockey … the iPhone of sports!"

A few clever ones - not great though. I hate the pokes at the NHL...

29. The best officiating in sports.

Not sure what to think of this one. Are they joking or other sport have it even worse?

18. With the price of gas hovering around $4 per gallon, who can afford to go anywhere?

So true.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that #42 links to a youtube uploaded by yours truly who stole said clip from Matt himself.

Yeah and Captain America plays on that red team??? Bettman has his poster boy media going for sure.

uh Brian Engbloms hair is the one and only reason for me.

[Z and D for the C 712]

"The teams will be feeling each other out on the fly like a couple of preteens at their first middle school dance. And before long, they should be going at each other hardcore."

Hahaha!

"HD technology has improved the viewing experience of hockey more than in any other sport except perhaps women's beach volleyball."

Wooorrd.

Good article, a little heavy on the pittsburgh side (they were even raggin on sheed, they must hate detroit) but good nonetheless. God it actually seems like ESPN wants to get back in the NHL.

[Datsyerberger 279]

"1. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin: The most exciting tandem since Gretzky and Messier, these franchise cornerstones are a combined 41 years old, which is still five years younger than"

Sorry, I give that to the Euro Twins, or maybe the guys on Ottawa? How are Sid and Geno an exciting tandem? They're certainly exciting individually, but "tandem"? They normally don't even play on the same line, except on the occasional PP.

Other than that, most of these are actually pretty damned funny. Wait a minute.. I see a trend here... they're all funny.. ahaha! That was a joke then! Good one ESPN!

"22. … because the NHL penalizes floppers!"

...Now THAT's comedy!

[Datsyerberger 279]

"41. Because Lady Byng and the Neutral Zone Trap aren't hair-metal bands."

For whatever reason, that one had me rolling.
