The Ghost of Bill Barilko Once again, a Bettman idea to advance the game of Hockey is a pointless waste of time.. The jerseys are weird, (Leafs, Avs, Rangers) and make the players look very skinny. The bottom makes it apperar like its unfinished. Hockeys TV ratings are plummeting ? Can't get a good network deal? Let's create a game filed with penalties that new fans can't understand and exisiting ones hate. And now new jerseys. While ticket prices go up, players are more transient then ever, lets stick the fans (especially parents) again. Smarten up Bettman. You are contaminating your exisiting fan base, while ostensibly trying bring in more

... ee what the Avalanche would unveil yesterday. In honor of the unveiling, I wore my beloved Sakic 3rd jersey. And then this: Talk about a letdown. I really don t understand how they could have gotten so many things wrong. The team has taken what was one of the most uniquely interesting designs in the league and turned it into some sort of 3rd rate roller hockey pullover. Awful. I get that teams want to change things up a bit to help drive new jersey sales - I don t begrudge anyone of trying to make a semi-honest buck. But, jeez, couldn t they have tweaked the jerseys in a GOOD way? These new things are just awful. I ve been trying since yesterday, but I have yet to be able to come up with one good thing to say about them. About the best I can do is that they ll still have the arched letters on the nameplate. Woohoo. Congratulations on not fucking up one thing, Colorado. Everything else about them is a complete jump in the wrong direction. I d go on but Joe at Mile High Hockey ...
