The Score's Top 64

This is genius because it brings together some of the best plays of all time in one place for all to see. I don't actually expect it to find the best play or moment of all time, the subjectiveness of flaky human perception will ultimately ruin it. Think of Don Cherry getting into the top 10 of The Greatest Canadian. Who in their right mind would have gotten him that far? (Ron McLean I could at least understand)

This type of bullshit will come through in The Score's top 64 as well, almost seen already as "The Play" nearly got beat by a Fred Brathwaite save. Albeit amazing, how can a single, desperation stick save beat an amazing kick return in a national championship where "THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD!"? The play has existed through time, it had a moniker attached to it, and it now has (at least one) commercial made in it's honour. And it almost got beat by Fred's stick save?

Tonight an amazing Dr. J layup is in tight against Marek Malik's shootout goal. Now again, this is bullshit, dominated again by the fact that hockey is an obsession around here and that it is still fresh in peoples memories. I never thought much of Malik's goal, despite the attention it got. Anything more than plays of the week is too much for play this highlight. I mean common! It's a freakin shootout goal! The guy can practice it all day long, maybe it is the only shootout move he has! And I've seen children successfully pull off this move, no joke. So why is it so amazing that he pulls it off?

And when he scored it, why was it important? They didn't win the Stanley Cup; they didn't clinch the playoffs. It was a non-divisional game at the beginning of the year. The Rangers got an extra point in a game that had already seen 13 rounds of shootout marathon. At what point does a shootout become boring? It had to be close that night.

Although I will enjoy this, I will vote responsibly. Because voting is not a right, it is a privilege.
