Switching Gears

I'm going to talk about something other than hockey for a minute because I feel like it. I'm reading about the media's reaction to the Watergate scandal in the 70's and it got me thinking...does it bother anybody else that ESPN named this whole Patriot's cheating thing "Spygate," which is a knockoff of one of the biggest government scandals in American history??? FOOTBALL IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!!!!! NEVER should something from a sport be named after something of such magnitude in this country's history.

Back to hockey...Montreal goalie Carey Price is showing that he really is 20 years old instead of the near-immortal he looked like during the season and Boston series. The Flyers won 3-2 last night to take a 2-1 series lead. Price was pulled from the game after giving up 3 goals on 12 shots. Two of the goals were weak and should have been stopped. This is deflating for a team. If Montreal is going to win, he's going to have to show some serious mettle and rebound in game four, or else the fat lady will sing in Montreal.
