"Is there anything better in the world of professional sports couch potato-ing on Monday nights than setting your remote on MNF and the NHL game on Versus and then using your "last channel" button to flip back and forth? This week during the Bears-Rams game, the young, explosive Penguins came back from a 4-0 deficit against the Caps and killed a four-on-three power play in the OT before winning 5-4 in a shootout while the Pens players on the bench wore their helmets backward, rally-cap style. This was, by far, the most compelling and enjoyable sports event I've watched on television this year."This quote is pulled from Dave Fleming's football column on ESPN. Such a pda for the NHL by a football columnist should be rewarded. Fleming's email is Dave.Fleming@espn3.com if you'd care to return the love. (Thanks to Tom Servo at HFBoards for the tip.)
