Each Friday throughout the season, I'll provide you with my predictions on whose stock is on the rise and whose is failing miserably like an American bank. It's a neat little segment entitled Buys and Sells. There are a few teams/players/issues to buy and a few to sell.
Ah, yes. It's Friday and that means it's time for another edition of Buys and Sells. I know you're all been dying with anticipation... Or not. But hey, the weekend is here -- and what an awesome weekend it is going to be. On Saturday night, all 30 teams are in action. And hey if you're not, you know, being social or something, sitting back and watching the utter insanity that is 15 NHL games in one night isn't a bad consolation prize for a Saturday night spent on the couch. And there's no hangover the next day, either. That's a win-win situation for both you and your liver. But enough about your internal organs... Let's get to it!
Strong sell: Politics and their continued involvement in the sport of hockey. If you're like me, you're tired of Palin getting all up in our grills, at least in the hockey sense. I'm not here to debate her credentials and qualifications as a Vice President -- that's for you to decide on your own dear voter -- all I'm saying is that we have got to put up a fence or something. Keep politics out of the sporting arena. Sports are supposed to be an escape from wives, husbands, jobs, the crushing financial crisis and... I know I'm forgetting something here... Oh right, and politics. I don't care who you're voting for. In fact, I'm happy that you're voting (you are voting, right?). I just want these discussions to take place elsewhere. Anywhere else.
So today, I propose that all bloggers do their part to rid ourselves of politics by ignoring it all together. When Sarah Palin (whose name I have censored from my own personal blog because she refuses to leave us alone) drops the puck in St. Louis, instead of talking about her, post a YouTube of the Green Man. If Barack Obama declares that the Blackhawks are his favorite team and has a press conference inside the United Center, write about how Scotch Tape emits X-rays. I don't know about all of you, but one of the reasons I follow sports is because they provide an escape from things like this. And I, for one, am sick and tired of them invading our space.
