Post of the year (so far). :-D Although I think we've had more than three NHL threads.
Heh, in the cancelation conference, Bettman mentioned he was watching the Beanpot final in the midst of the negotiations (I would guess during a break).
New poll: "Who cares?"
[Q]Now, with more on that hockey postponement, here is Weekend Update correspondent Tim Meadows. Tim?
[Cheers and applause as we pan over to Tim Meadows in a suit and tie.]
Tim Meadows: Thank you. Thank you. The baseball strike I can deal with. But when it comes to hockey, nobody, and I mean nobody, is a bigger fan than me. In fact, around here, my nickname is "Little Hockey." ... Watch this. [waves to someone off screen] Hey, guys!
Off Screen Guys: Hey, Little Hockey!
Tim Meadows: See? ... [increasingly upset] What am I supposed to now that there is no hockey? Watch basketball? No. I'm sorry, it's not gonna happen. ... But forget about me. What about African-American kids all over the country? ... They need their heroes. If an African-American kid can't look up to a Mario Lemieux or Mark Messier or Mario Roberge or a Guy Carbonneau or ... or Patrick Roy ... who can he look up to? ... I swear to God, there are only a few things that get to Tim Meadows: racism, sexism and no hockey! ... So, come on, you owners and players, I need my hockey. Like I need air or water or food or clothing or whatever. You don't want to make me mad! Because when I get mad, I get stomach pains. Back to you, Norm.
Norm MacDonald: Tim Meadows! [cheers and applause as Norm shakes Tim's hand] Good job, buddy.
Tim Meadows: Thanks. [Tim continues to steam]
Norm MacDonald: Tim - Tim "Little Hockey" Meadows. [Tim waves to the crowd as we cut back to Norm][/Q]
