The Boys of Summer. And Winter. And Spring.

The Stanley Cup was won last night...by a team playing in California. Won by a team named after a cartoonish waterfowl in a particularly wretched Disney movie. No wonder the NBA's brand of hip-hopping pansies garnered a 5.3 share while NBC's NHL broadcast languished at a 1.5.

There's so much wrong with that picture that I'll spare you a rant (this time) and simply recommend 10 Ways to fix the National Hockey League. Personally, I'd start by finding a way to rid Chicago Blackhawk fans of "Dollar Bill" Wirtz and his band of Merry Brand-Trashing Morons.

Oh, wait. I sorta got a rant in there after all, didn't I?
