A Different Tone

I'm confused by that last post. I truly do not know what to make of it. I will remedy this by adding my own flavor to this blog. I've made mention of NHL player Sean Avery because I was curious about how his relationship with actress and hottie Elisha Cuthbert will be affected by his recent trade from LA to New York.

In attempt to relate to an earlier post - perhaps Avery is one of the people responsible for giving John Mayer an Emmy... because he is certainly a douchebag. He recently sat down for an interview with Maxim online in which he explained some of his douchebaggery. The guy's well known to be a jerk but this was the comment that put me over the edge:

Are shootouts good for the game, or just hockey’s way of selling out to increase ratings?
They’re awesome. I don’t know why everyone looked upon it as this dreaded thing where we were selling out. It’s a breakaway, it’s a shootout. You decide regular-season games by it. It’s great for the fans. We, as players, like watching it probably more than anyone.

A decent person would have explained that shootouts are an aberration - an abomination. A team player would be appalled at the idea of a great team game being decided by a skills competition.
