Sound familiar? It should for you 150-or-so regular readers as I've mentioned it four times since the Winter Classic (not including this instance). Glad to see that the Gray Lady is in touch with the times ...
And the other item I wanted to show you guys is that our boy Jagr apparently is mad at NBC after analyst Mike Milbury said in an interview that it is Jagr's fault that the Rangers have played so far below potential. After hearing those comments, Jagr refused to participate in a canned interview that the network would have used as part of their coverage of the 12:30p game tomorrow against the Bruins. It was truly a professional move by Jagr (sarcasm), that showed that he can still be a moody, petulant child when he wants to. He couldn't rise up and be the bigger man there, just like he is having so many troubles being the big man on the ice. For shame. Guess I won't be getting that one-on-one with Jags either. Gosh-diddly-darn-it!!

You are far more insightful than anyone writing at the New York Times, so there.
Truth hurts. If the NYT took it a little more seriously (with the exception of SlapShots), meaning on the first page of the sports section ONCE... we'd all take notice.
That was the thing in Toronto...hockey EVERYWHERE....loved it.
<< I should be flattered but was given no credit so I will just point out that New York Times writer Lew Serviss blogged today over at Slap Shots that the All Star Game should be the annual outdoor game. Sound familiar? It should for you 150-or-so regular readers as I've mentioned it four times since the Winter Classic (not including this instance).

Let's do some fact-checking. Your first mention of having the ASG as the outdoor game was this:
<< Another interesting idea that I saw last night was a proposition that the next outdoor game should be an All Star game. I forgot where I saw that but it really is a genius idea. >>
So it wasn't your idea in the first place. That post was from January 2nd, the day after the IceBowl in Buffalo. Since you forget where you saw the idea, maybe this will refresh your memory:
<< An outdoor professional game is a great spectacle, a fun way to get casual fans back to the game. But perhaps it’s more suited to an All-Star game. >>
That was from January 1st, the day of the game. Who wrote that? Oh yeah. Serviss posted that on the Times blog.
