No stars?
On the edition of the Sports Reporters that aired on TSN today, Mitch Albom complained about the state of the NHL. His main complaint? That the NHL has allowed the teams with stars to be elimated from the playoffs!
He was whining about the Detroits and Colorados being eliminated. Too bad he's never heard of guys like Martin St Louis or Jarome Iginla. They've only won two of the last three scoring titles.
Maybe Albom, a Detroit resident, needs to understand that Detroit's reign at the top of the NHL has faded and guys like Yzerman or Lidstrom are no longer the superstars they once were.
If Albom wants to watch Yzerman or Sakic play deep in the playoffs I suggest he try ESPN Classics. They've had their turn. Now it is time for the new guard to take over from the old guard.
