Couple of random thoughts.
I don't mind the axe too much especially because of how it seemed to turn the tide in our favor. The problem I had is they stopped the game to bring it out. Someone mentioned bringing other teams to football games to honor them, but I seriously doubt they did that after a second down play. It was probably at half time. So do it between periods and no problems here. Maybe the issue was they couldn't get back in time, but that should be your tough luck.
BTN coverage is getting better. Not thrilled about the WI bias which was obvious, but at least they tried and didn't break away from the game.
This maybe have been covered but why sieve chant when the goalie makes a save? Makes zero sense and to me speaks to the whole knowledgeable fan base issue. I don't mind the dances but the part that got me when I was at the KC a while back is the stands seemed to empty right as the period started. So everyone was there for the dance but all ran to get their popcorn instead of watching the game? Didn't make sense to me because the dance was more important than the game.
Looks like the poll talk has been quiet for a bit. All last week it was about how polls didn't matter then after Friday I heard lots of talk about how bucky beat the #1 team. Why was that so important if polls don't matter? Anyways, doesn't seem like that was an issue for too long.
