and then there's Hockey

 while the majority of professional athletes in the other 3 sports are collective bunch of arrogant, overpaid, drug saddled thugs.....who hate the country, the press, the National Anthem and the fans.....who struggle to feed their families while collecting 100 hundred million $$ contract and see themselves as the true victims in this cruel world........on the other end of the spectrum we find our Hockey players............good natured, fun loving lads from various countries who are genuinely excited to be playing professional sports, that still put winning a title as their main objective and still form a bond of brotherhood with their teammates...and they never lose that sense of humor.


last night after the Broadway Blueshirts dispatched of the penguinis w clam sauce.......Igor Sheterkin pitched a shutout and Artemi Panarin scored a big goal......(2 Russian born players that could have easily stopped talking to the media after the war in Ukraine began) instead they faced the local media like they always do..........Panarin made a joke that Shesterkin said he would share some of his contract if he started to score more goals.........and then the quiet Rookie Shesterkin quipped that he "would share , except Biden is squeezing me on taxes".   ya gotta love that......this is a team that is easy to watch and fun to root for...good natured banter and great Chemistry.....watch out is all i have to say to the rest of the NHL
