Hilarious Mick! It’s stunning to see how the overall demise is totally interconnected, over time!
So many common threads through all of our major sports!
Media now seems to spend SO much airtime, continually attempting to “re-educate” us, (mostly the older crowd), as to what defines “GOOD PLAY”, or performance! Hell, just pick any of the major sports!
[size=78%] When that fails/failed, they turn to unnecessary drama creation. Hyping up the significance of any game situation, in order to make the ordinary look special! This, in turn, elevates a good play, to the spectacular, and a weekly excellent play, to damn near HISTORIC! It’s as shameful as it is painfully obvious![/size]
This dynamic in sports media, inherently depends on the younger crowds lack of past sports reference, The koolaid is drank, and the media is all too happy, every season, to mix powder, sugar, and water, in slighter, subtle dilution, year by year by ever-souring year!!
Ok, enough rant again. Gotta get un-frustrated before Montréal this Thursday!

at some point, (female) stripper figure skating would be more exciting and get better ratings

LMAO!
But you may be onto something, DC! Hell, let’s go for it!
Ok so a stripper on the ice!.....I say at intermission between 1st/2nd, OR 2nd/3rd! She carries an oversized paddling board, (ya know, used back in the day, in elementary school. The kind with holes drilled in it)!
Ok, then the home team player with the most wimpy type play, for that period, judged by a designated official, has to come out of the locker room, stand in front of the sin bin door, and touch his toes, bending over.
Simultaneously above, the big screen shows the replay of said offense. Stripper girl then skates up, with paddle in hand, and deals out the whacks! The crowd counts them off, 1, 2, 3, (three being the max). Player skates back to locker room: LESSON LEARNED! Oh yeah, has to be done after Mites on Ice. Can’t get rid of that! LOL
Like you famously point out, DC....”MORE FOR YOUR HOCKEY ENTERTAINMENT DOLLAR”!!😆😅
(Ok, I admit, these schedule breaks are tough on the mind)!

Mickstix:
So, it's day 5 since the "Neutral Arbitrator" heard the case.. When do we expect (ie: guess) they'll get around to making a decision?
A) This week
B) Next
C) Thanksgiving
D) Christmas
E) Trade Deadline
F) Next season
G) Prolly just sweep it under the rug and never speak of it again.. Until he makes another questionable hit.

I heard or read somewhere that a decision is expected to come down this week. I hope so and if the suspension is reduced to 14 or 15 games as some people have speculated he could be playing by the end of the week. That would be super. We can definitely use him.
