Night Moves....Good Old Hockey Game

The NHL playoffs were featured prominently on the 11:00pm ET editions of ESPN's "SportsCenter" and FS1's "Fox Sports Live" last night. ESPN led with five MLB reports, but it was only approximately ten minutes into the broadcast before they aired Blues-Blackhawks highlights. FS1 led their broadcast with highlights from four Stanley Cup Playoff series before airing a report on Dodgers-Giants.

ESPN's Keith Olbermann called out his "world's worst" persons in sports: A fan in the stands taking a "selfie" as players from the Lightning and Canadiens pushed, shoved and scuffled along the boards right in front of the fan. Also drawing Olbermann's derision were the Triple-A Int'l League Lehigh Valley IronPigs for wearing uniforms to "salute local law enforcement" with the police-style uniforms featuring "Pigs" on them, and MLB Giants fans holding up letters to spell "B-A-E-T L-A" during a game against the Dodgers. Bills C Eric Wood was also put on blast for autographing a jock strap.
