What a Bunch of Horse...

I was checking out a little playoff hockey today on NBC. They usually have Saturday & Sunday games, while VS has the weekdays.

So today was game 5 between the Ottawa Senators and the Buffalo Sabres. Pretty huge game is Buffalo... they lose this one and they are playing golf for the rest of the summer.

Turned out to be a great game - - what I saw of it anyway. You see that horse to the right? Well, NBC, who truly loves the NHL, decided to leave the Stanley Cup Playoff game when it headed to sudden death overtime to catch a race that lasted all of about 3 minutes. But they needed a lot more than that to talk about all the story lines...

So now hockey fans (if there really are any out there), not only is the NHL behind the NFL, MLB, NBA & NASCAR, but Major League Soccer (MLS) and now Horse Racing are giving it a run for the money.

For all the fans in Buffalo who were watching at home... sorry you missed it, but your team lost in overtime. Hopefully there are some good highlights on Sports Center - - oh, wait a minute, they don't like hockey either. Oh well, that one horse made it around the track real fast at least.
