Petitions are annoying, but I'm hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.

When the Jets came back to Winnipeg and had their first playoff series, the announcers were all but sucking Corey Perry's dick all series long. It was such a turn off for the playoff experience. I actually cheered when Byfuglien punched him on the back of the head after a goal, but can see now that it was a pretty big dick move.

Anyway... yeah I like this petition.

Punching Perry should be normalized. If the Kings ever picked him up I would boycott the season. I will never cheer a team he plays for.

That's how I feel about Brad Marchand. Fans often say, "He's the kind of guy you hate but you'd love him on your team," but fuck that noise. I'd be embarrassed to have that floppy, chick-shit rat on my team. Maybe less embarrassing than only winning one playoff series in 20 years... but embarrassing nonetheless!
