And while we are on the topic of information I have no idea what to do with

The NHL denied Al Jazeera's request for press credentials at the Stanley Cup finals.

Um. Okay.

Wait, no, not okay. Thanks to Bettman's unrestrained asshattery the NHL is no position to be denying anyone who wants to cover the finals, since all his market-development efforts here in North America have resulted in a staggering loss of market for the league.

And furthermore I would pay about ten thousand dollars to sit in a cafe in Pakistan and watch the locals watch Don Cherry. Watch the locals watch Don Cherry while Don Cherry knows he's being aired in Pakistan. What? Like you wouldn't.

Also, it's not like they don't have hockey in the middle east--ohmyGod, you can get a Dubai Mighty Camels jersey for $45! Where's my checkbook. . .?
