.......but isn’t that what sells NHL?
What do you guy's and gal's think?
The Ottawa Sun is one week removed from a sports columnist using his penis as a framing device for a story about the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Matt Cooke, so it was going to be a challenge to reach new levels of tasteless provocation.
Challenge accepted and met on Friday morning, as the Ottawa Sun put a blood-soaked Lars Eller of the Montreal Canadiens on its cover to hype the Ottawa Senators’ Game 1 win over the Habs:Eller suffered a broken nose and other injuries on a hit by Eric Gryba of the Sens in Thursday night’s game. It was a horrific scene, as blood streamed from his face onto the ice as he was momentarily knocked out.
The Sun has been called “gutless” and “classless” and “disgusting” for using blood to sell papers.
Which, of course, papers do every single day. At least the ones in tabloid form.
It’s a shocking image, and its placement is all the more shocking when you consider the ultimate legality of Gryba’s hit had yet to be determined by the NHL – he was given a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for it. The majority of fans and pundits believed the hit was legal, and that Eller's injury was caused in a freakish fall to the ice.......
Picture and the rest of the story....Y! SPORTS
