And here, because I am reading it now, is the best shot of the night, from the Puck Daddy blog over at Yahoo.
Some have argued to me that they look football for the strategy of it all, and they love seeing a defensive playcall that puts four linebackers within three inches of the quarterback's face the second the ball is snapped. I get that, but I'd also be willing to bet the average football fan can't read the difference between a nickel and a 4-3. So what gives?
It's not as if strategy doesn't go into hockey. These guys aren't out there skating around with no system telling them where to be and what to do at all times unless they're coached by Wayne Gretzky.
That was Ryan Lambert writing his weekly What We Learned column for Puck Daddy. His shot at Gretzky was, well, probably within range of what we might call a blindside head shot.
I'm not saying he's wrong, but you don't expect to get a rip on Gretzky when you are early into a post on why the NHL remains far superior to the NFL.
He's made the right call on that one. But someone needs to check the vitals on Gretzky. He just got tagged.
Now if you don't mind, Kristen Bell has just walked onto the "Tonight Show." She's a Red Wings fan. I'll overlook that.
