2011 Winter Classic


I am sick and tired of this love affair between Gary Bettman and Cindy Crosby.  Everyone knows of his reputation as a whiner and a diver, so I won't get into that.  Although I obviously wasn't happy that Shitsburgh was chosen for the first Winter Classic, it made sense.  They had been improving as a team and Bettman knew Cindy would sell tickets.  But to give him a second Winter Classic in four years?  That is a slap in the face to every other player, team, and fan in the NHL.  Fuck you, Bettman.  It's clear you don't give a shit about anyone in the NHL besides Cindy and Ovechkin.  And the only reason you care about Ovechkin is because the NHL, per Bettman's influence, has blown up the rivalry between him and Cindy.
I see nothing wrong with the Capitals getting to play in the next Winter Classic.  But there are so many other teams besides Shitsburgh that deserve to play in the Winter Classic with superstars that will sell just as many tickets to real hockey fans.

Update June 21, 2011-It's totally OK when they give the Flyers another Winter Classic.
