Is Hockey On The Tube

There's just an incredible amount of variety when it comes to sports television and we all have our favorites.
It occurs to me that I still love baseball.
I know this is hockey central but I can't take my eyes and mind away from the diamond.
You can take the sport out of the city and sadly I guess out of just about everyone else in my hometown, but not me.
I'm a classic channel changer and I move around a lot but I still seem to focus in on baseball and especially with the baseball package on the internet where I have a choice of every game.

When I noticed Mark Buehrlie of the White Sox and Felix Hernandez of Seattle were working on no hitters, my attention was easily diverted away from the NHL playoffs.
Same with Cole Hamels outing last weekend not to mention the latest ARod exploits.

The NBA also holds my interest.
I can't look away from a golf major.

The NFL would easily win in a battle for my TV heart.

I know that almost everyone has forgiven the NHL for the lost year and while my love of hockey has been rekindeled with the "new" NHL, hockey still sits in my back seat.

This job has helped bring me back to the game.
Let's face it, how are you going to talk about something for four hours if you don't know what you're talking about.

In watching any sport I'm always looking for a memory.
Something special.
A moment in time.

Nothing of that sort for me so far in this year's NHL playoffs, nor was there last year.

The lack of upsets in the first round this year at least points to a possibility.
Good thing I have two eyes.
