Thursday

This is one of those terrible Thursday kinda days.  You know the ones I'm talking about... the Thursdays that feel like Fridays.

This week is NHL All-Star week.  The lamest week of the year.  The All-Star game is... how shall I describe it... stupid.  Yeah, that's what it is.  Stupid.  The fan balloting is a joke.  Four of the starters play for Ottawa.  Four of them.  Ottawa's decent this year, but to have four starters in the all-star game is insulting.  Obviously the only people who give a crap about the game are those in Ottawa who actually have a chance to go.

The fantasy draft?  Lame.  The skills competition?  That would be cool if they just did it without all of the constant bullshit surrounding it.  Of course, if they eliminated the commercials and the in "game" interviews the event would only last about 10 minutes.  The game itself?  It bears no resemblance to actual NHL hockey.  None.

The worst part?  No Bruins games for a whole week.  A Whole Week.  They played (poorly) against Washington this past Tuesday.  They don't play again until next Tuesday.  Awful.  Truly awful.

I'll say it again:  I hate the NHL All-Star game.
