Saint Doug Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 CNNSI > ESPN This is really nothing new. The day after a Sabres win, you will see a picture of them on the front of CNNSI's NHL webpage. Then go to ESPN's NHL page, the won't even mention the win. They will usually have a picture of Philly or Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what makes CNNSI > ESPN As much as I hate CNN's news coverage (their news is as "Fair and Balanced" as Fox ), at least their sports coverage is respectable. Unlike ESPN and their flavor of the month reporting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hmm, the guy in the photo is Joe DeLuca.. is that who I think it is? Cant be. It says that DeLuca created the sign. And that sign reads "we believe", not "winning destroys the franchise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clownments22 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yes, you're right. ESPN is a Crosby lovefest. While you are 100% right, the real problem with the NHL over the last few years is that there aren't enough canadian and american hockey stars. Think mid 90's: Gretzky, Lemmiux, Messier, Yzerman. Crosby is a star talent and he and other young guys could help bring up the league as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropeerasers Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 While you are 100% right, the real problem with the NHL over the last few years is that there aren't enough canadian and american hockey stars. Think mid 90's: Gretzky, Lemmiux, Messier, Yzerman. Crosby is a star talent and he and other young guys could help bring up the league as a whole. This year the Sabres had three all stars starters, including the all-star MVP, all of which are American or Canadian. Are you saying it benefits the NHL when ESPN ignores players like that to dwell on one player almost constantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
