Still a rollercoaster ride. Sigh ... Go Ducks!

The lockout was positive from the standpoint that it brought humility and a much-needed customer-service refresher course to individual franchises. Hopefully, another positive will be the understanding that a long-term, lucrative, league-wide marketing budget is a smart investment.

As soon as he put "I love the Kings. They will be entertaining. A must-watch, late-night NHL Center Ice team. They have one of the best television-production teams and one of the most entertaining players to boot (Jeremy Roenick)" his article sucked!!!!

Hey now...I like Bucci! I'll have to overlook his fatal flaw...liking the Kings. I think his articles are interesting and he does know his hockey, regardless if I agree with his opinions or not. He was one of the only guys still writing about hockey during the lockout...

I like Bucci. He is a real hockey fan as opposed to a lot of the other personalities at ESPN and he was one of the few who actually gave the Ducks a chance to beat the Red Wings (he may have even picked the Ducks over the Wings) and the Stars in the playoffs two years ago.

You have to realize Bucci is friends with Melrose who used to coach the Kings. There is a slight bias there. You have to admit, Roenick can be entertaining and is certainly as good for quotes as Burke.

He did pick the Ducks to beat the Wings. I still don't like him, or any (and I don't often use words as definite as that) of the so-called ESPN experts.

Nothing against the guy... Just my opinnion was that his Western coast analyzis was far weaker than Easter coast one... Looked like it was something he had, not liked to do...

Part of what I find entertaining about Bucci is his attempt to try pleasing every fan out there, something nobody can accomplish and often only leads to more fans being unhappy with him....
