Not only is Phil Jackson a coaching genius-see the 11 rings-but he never lacks for interesting comments and generally doesn't spare feelings in doing so.

Hardly. Oh in terms of marketing itself perhaps but in reality-No thanks. Hey ESPN their is more to reporting the NHL playoffs then giving a score.

Now I know Hockey is 4th on the major sport pecking order, maybe 5th depending if you consider Auto Racing a sport, but seriously ESPN your hockey covergae is a joke!

Yes I love the game, especially the playoffs which unlike any other playoff or sport has more parity then any other sport by far
