There are two things NPR usually fails reporting about: anything internet (their “coverage” of twitter is a joke) and hockey. Anytime hockey comes up, it is either the start of the playoffs, the end of the Stanley Cup finals, the start of the season, or someone did something really stupid on the ice.
This didn’t make it on the air, but it comes from Chicago Public Radio’s blog, and is almost a 101 for the Blackhawks. It’s certainly worth a listen.
