Hero Watch

Tom Jones of the St. Petersburg Times is my latest hockey media hero. He begins as such:

Right now, you have a choice most nights of watching either the NHL playoffs or the NBA playoffs. To us, it's no contest. The NHL playoffs are way better than the NBA playoffs.

And it gets better from there as he counts down the top ten reasons why the hockey postseason is way better than a bunch of freakishly tall guys throwing balls at a peach basket just barely above their freakishly large heads.

His number one reason: it rhymes with "schmovertime."
