#4 Posted: 6/8/2012 5:55:49 PM hate to say it BUT I think clepto makes a good point. maybe NBC will switch the game to NBC Sports to REALLY stick a fork in this series TV ratings 
not that his Canucks and the Devils would have been ANY better in the States  |

Hope you're doing well Getty. I'm assuming you did not major in business marketing? 
I agree by the way, but it does not mean they should not try and sell the game. That is the whole idea, and that can't be done when you have, as you say, 90% of sports fans in the very country you are trying to sell it in, watching a massive game in the other sport the all grew up playing and watching while your showcase, Championship game is being aired.
If that's the attitude then they should just eliminate a boat load of teams down there, give us the other one back they stole away and just give up on selling the game down there all together.
That would mean all those retarded, video game, yellow, laser pucks I was forced to watch go flashing across my tv screen years back, making a complete joke out of the game I love were all for naught?

Hockey will always be a niche sport available to the relative few who have been able to play it. Nah, people like winners. There's been professional hockey in Pennsylavania since the late 1890's. But hockey never flourished in the U.S because you guys were never good at it. All the players were from either Ontario or Quebec. In the first 90 years, American teams won a mere handful of cups. So why play it or watch it when you cant win it? Traditions were made with baseball and basketball because winning was achievable. Not to worry though, as gary and Cdn team owners are changing the losing culture. They have brought you plenty of winners the past 3 decades in efforts to boost both morality and viewership. Good luck |

The NBA ratings will kill the NHL in LA for darn sakes. Well done you baffling buffoons!!!
P.S Nothing going on tonight???
I think you are one of the biggest buffoons on here but you are spot on for this one!
As a matter of fact, I dont even know why both commissioners dont get together and figure it out. No reason why the NHL game could not start at 5pm Eastern time on a Saturday and the NBA at 8:30pm or Vice Versa.
As a sports fan ( and i dont really like the NBA ) I would love to have a Saturday that has a SC final and a game 7 NBA game featuring Lebron and Pierce back to back.
Also, Bettman is one clueless f$%^&*. I cant wait to hear the fans boo him when his bobblehead neck presents the SC trophy |
