Hey, This Is Hockey, Not Figure Skating
Congratulations, Dave Taylor, on the departure of Sean O’Donnell in the expansion draft. “I think the game is moving toward speed and skill.” Are you crazy? The Kings need a physical presence on the ice, Einstein Jr. They need it now, they needed it then. Do you honestly believe the Devils won only because of skill and speed? How about their physical pounding of their opponents?
Go ahead, Dave, admit it, you would have preferred to play without Jay Miller, McSorley and Baumgartner. Yeah, right.
