BATTLE: NHL PLAYOFFS vs SPORTSCENTER!

What is wrong you ESPN and Sportscenter?!?!? I watch your station everyday, I am loyal, and you slap me in the face every morning during these NHL playoffs. You spend 10 minutes on the Spurs/Warriors game alone and only give the entire night of NHL playoff hockey 1.5 MINUTES?!?!

Their were FOUR NHL playoff hockey games last night and THREE OF THEM WENT INTO OVERTIME with thrilling finishes! Not to mention, there have been tons of vicious hitting, fighting, suspensions, etc. What more can you ask for??

The NBA is so fucking boring! A player twists an ankle and they are out for the game. ESPN spends 15 minutes every hour talking about wether or not Derrick Rose will hike up his skirt and suit up for a game that requires you to dribble and shoot a ball. First of all, man up D-Rose! Either suit up or STFU!! I don't need ex-NBA players (like Bruce Bowen and his fruity bow tie) coming on Sportscenter to figure out how much of a pussy you are being. (I understand his situation, but we know your not playing at all during these playoffs so put an end to your daily soap opera and tell the world your out! If not, take out your tampon and get your ass on the court because Miami just put a beat down on your bulls!!)


The NHL playoffs are better and better every game and viewership is at an all time high. Every night there are multiple overtime nail bitters that keep you on the edge of your seat. Goalies are making jaw dropping, finesse saves on quality scoring chances night after night that make head spin. Players like Pavel Datsyuk are scoring goals that should be #1 on your top ten plays (yet they don't even make the segment) But, instead you'd rather insert a simple dunk from player who's 6'10''...ooh wow! Half of these top ten dunks are the equivalent to me dunking on a 6 foot fisher price hoop in my backyard!!

It's even more pathetic when the only sportscenter segments that get a tiny block of NHL highlights are when certain anchors like Linda Cohn, Steve Levy, and Barry Melrose happen to be on. I bet they have to fight the producers every morning over a cup of coffee to get a 1 minute "highlight express" of the entire night of hockey.

This is bullshit and it needs to end ASAP!! You are killing your NHL fans who watch ESPN everyday. The NHL is the only sport where if you look away for more than 10 seconds, you may miss a fantastic move, jaw dropping save or a malicious check that knocks the opponents teeth out! I am not asking for full game analysis (because that will never happen). All I ask is that you give us full game highlights of every game so the world/NHL fans can see the greatness that is the NHL PLAYOFFS!!
