A Wednesday Whine

An old housemate used to make us save up all our whining for Wednesdays, upon which we were free to whine about any and everything. It stuck with me, so I'm instituting Whiney Wednesdays on the blog.

Who cares if the All-Star Game is boring? All all-star games are silly, meaningless and lack excitement. I'm sick of reading all these musings about how to make the NHL All-Star game mean something. Get over it. It never will and it doesn't matter that it doesn't. If you're that upset, don't watch.

The Flyers can't beat the Devils, so they whine. While the Flyers did beat Ottawa last weekend, they can't seem to beat their brethren up the turnpike. Frankly, I was more surprised that they beat the Sens. Philly's meltdown in the third period last night is why they won't go far in the playoffs in a microcosm. When things don't go their way, they whine and fall apart.

Ferguson's gone. Now what will Leafs fans whine about? The perceived mess in Toronto wasn't GM Ferguson's fault, but he did make it somewhat worse by keeping Kubina and not getting the team a stellar goaltender. Still, after Pat Quinn got the boot and the team kept losing, Ferguson was the labeled the bad guy and had to go. So who'll be pilloried now? Maurice?

Hmmm...only three whines. A good day!
