Beyond The Bleachers With Eric Kuzmiak

E: “Well as biased as I am, an unbiased answer would be this: I still think they are another year away.  This season will tell the tale.  Fleury is finally blossoming (no pun intended), and Crosby and Malkin are on pace to become the best 1-2 punch in the league.  The role players are the key. If Satan, Fedo[tenko], Sykora, and Gonchar continue to play great hockey, maybe they do win it this year, but I still think they are a year away, though I hope I am wrong.”

A: Give me five reasons why hockey is more of a sport than golf.

E: “5. "Dump and chase" in hockey is a play that requires significant skill and movement.  In golf, it requires toilet paper and a cart.

4.  In hockey, a shot is taken and 10 conditioned athletes race for the loose puck.  In golf, one overweight, beer-guzzling school teacher strolls through the grass to hunt it down.

3.  There are no goalies protecting the hole in golf.  Where's the challenge in that?

2.  When a 12-year old girl and/or 65-year old grandfather can adequately keep pace with a well-conditioned male in his early 20's in a "sporting event", the word "sport" should not even be considered in the activity description.

1. I'd like to see Vijay Singh stand toe-to-toe with Laraque, Parros, or Chara.”

I would like to thank Eric Kuzmiak for taking part in this interview and cooperating with me through my crazy schedule.  There are more interviews coming, so everyone stay tuned!
