I hate actually having to analyze the shootout, which I loathe, but surely it isn't too much to expect that the guys on TV do some critical thinking.<BR/><BR/>This brings up another point, which is that Ottawa's radio broadcast team has to be the most cringe-inducing set of homers in the League. Sure, I know that the local radio guys are supposed to be boosters, but the whining about the officiating that comes from these guys is embarrassing. To listen to these guys, you would think that there is a league wide plot against the Sens, and that our guys are routinely having their spleens removed in full view of the officials. Like all good homers, the whining increases tenfold if the locals are on the wrong end of the score. Crying about the officials is just so tired and cliche - when those guys are whining, I swear to God I am standing beside a bunch of wailing hockey dads at a local Bantam A game. (There, I feel better.)<BR/><BR/>Good call on Galley, though. Because he is a former player, he calls it like he sees it, which is refreshing.Dennis Prousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117649570711228161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-47808600944257162692008-02-22T10:25:00.000-05:002008-02-22T10:25:00.000-05:00Neate does read a lot into some offhand comments f...Neate does read a lot into some offhand comments from time to time.I also think, as Tao does, that Gary Galley is the best of the bunch.<BR/><BR/>For this Monday's leafs at ottawa game I will not have to put up with any media types.
